New songs(?). New tour dates. New hairdo. Same singer. (YAY) I must admit I was hoping Bono did some bending motions in the video below, but I’ll take his word(s) for it that he’s ready to return.
U2′s Rescheduled North American Tour dates for 2011
For the reading challenged, here are the key visual aids:
Unrelated: Bono on a boat. (This is how he gets that windblown look on his hair, people.)









Theory: he’s caught in an endless hairstyle loop spanning 1997 to 2004, i.e. Pop through HTDAAB. The past few years = the preferred Pop hair. But now he’s moving on to Beautiful Day hair, which is still *essentially OK.* But. It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump away from that blasted Elevation tour shag thing. Then: the dreaded “Jackie O.” It’s going to be a rough six years or so, I’m afraid.
LMAO. I think the Jackie O Bono is pretty close to the Joe Pepitone. Yes? Lol… if that happens again I will cry so hard. Ha ha.
Bionic Vox’s shirt appears to be open to the navel … The Edge must be on fire.
Good to see him back up & movin’ on up … with new songs!
Good luck to the drummer on that summer job.
OH. The Joe Pepitone is so dead-on. As hilarious as it is frightening.
Bionic Vox! Yes, yes, yes.
I got absolutely NO work done today.
(Unlike, er, every other day…)
ps – let us never speak of the Joe Pepitone again.
I am full of glee and giddiness over this news.
(I’m slightly worried – in a funny way – about the Seattle show being so early in June. On the other hand, since this June was so crappy, next June is bound to be much better.)
I’m slightly worried about the Edmonton show on June 1 – the weather can very dodgy there that time of year. Could be very pleasant … or quite cold still.
Downward dog next time. Maybe.
I got my tickets for Edmonton and Minneapolis. I’ve been going to the last show of every tour since ZooTV. Minneapolis is no Honnolulu, but it should still be fun.
