1. Bono congratulates Italian prime minister Matteo (Mateo, Bono writes) Renzi:

    No doubt some will find this disappointing. Renzi is certainly a step forward compared to our former PM until 2011 (this is easy). But he talks talks talks, and many - in Italy, but also abroad, see e.g. recent articles in The Economist and FT - start wondering how much substance there is behind his telegenic facade. Oh well, he still is a step forward, and we make progress by going forward, not backwards...

    I'm from Italy and I completely agree with you...though, I'm still wondering how much Bono is aware of what Renzi is doing here...
  3. Bono and a fan last night outside that studios in France:





    Lucky girl!
  4. Or... lucky Bono!
  5. Thanks, virlio, I'm also Italian...
  6. The writer of U2 En España (U2 in Spain) was with Adam last night too and has some news to share, apparently... Let's hope it's good news.

  7. Are books so necessary ?
  8. Bono was nominated to do this ALS ice bucket challenge, but no videos of him cold and wet have surfaced yet though
  9. I think the 1st single off the new album is going to be called "Ice Ice Bucket Baby"
    And this whole viral thing was a marketing tool by Universal.

    Dum dum dummmmmm
  10. So no news on upcoming album ?
