Current events

I almost never cover general U2 news here, but I do have one comment on the delay of the new album until 2009. Today my husband and I took a morning hike in some nearby town woods we'd never visited; the trail map turned out to be highly inaccurate, and after a number of turns we weren't really sure about, we were thoroughly lost and found ourselves at a choice between three paths that didn't seem to be on the map at all. After vainly trying and failing to locate any identifiable landmarks, we had no choice but just to choose randomly and keep walking. As we headed deeper into the woods, off to God-knows-where, with no map, I remarked to my husband, "We've hit a rich songwriting vein."
