The funniest part of pfork's post is how they follow up the news that this week's Tonight Show residency will be postponed with the embedded video for "With or Without You".

First the Apple thing. Then he admits he wears glasses because he has glaucoma. Then the back of his airplane falls open. Now he has a bike accident bad enough to require surgery.

Take the hint, Bono. Take it easy. The world needs you now, more than ever.

Because despite all the hype and the marketing manouvres, the last album was a bit rub.

Get away.

three months pass...

I had no interest in this album, but I'm listening to the U Talkin' U2 to Me episode about it right now, and they're kind of selling me on it.

I really dig on "The Troubles" whenever it comes up in shuffle.

The delay on the thud sound makes it.

I think he should change his stage name from The Edge now, he's clearly over it.

Maybe he could do a collab with Mark E Smith.
