Here's a U2.com email allegedly from Larry Mullen: ------ This is not something that I would normally do, but I feel that I have to do something to redress this situation. There was a mess up in the way th...

U2 did have the internet presale available for members of U2.com. You pay your money for U2.com membership and you get the chance to purchase 2 tickets for any one US show in advance. There's also the ability of the promoter of the show to pull aside a block of tickets (of any size, really) for prom...

Wow, this is pretty sad. My favorite musician by far and a guy I sorta considered a hero because of what Everclear's music has done for me is selling his gear on eBay to help pay off his huge debt. People have been poking some major fun at this situation, but it's finally starting to sink in how ki...

The cost was based on the cabin type, so it could run anywhere from $1,350 to $3,500 per person or $2,700 to $7,000 per cabin. Plus air fare to get down there for the cruise, plus tips, plus drinks on the ship and what not. I picked up a decent cabin, so it was $2,100 x 2 and the plane fare was abou...

I just got back from what is, for me at least, the ultimate musical experience. My favorite band (yes, even more beloved than Everclear), Big Head Todd and the Monsters, went on a cruise through the Caribbean with about 115 of their most devoted fans on a big old sailing yacht. The trip went through...

Glad to see Eli actually get a W tonight. any super bowl predictions??? If you're a Giants fan, though, you have to wonder what could have been, when you pull Warner at 5-4 and stick in Manning, watching him go 1-6 down the stretch when you know that 8-8 got you a shot at the playoffs and 9-7 would...

Please, the boycott against Cuban cigars is almost as effective as the "war on drugs." I don't know anyone who smokes cigars who really has a hard time getting their hand on Cuban cigars. And most of the people I know who smoke cigars regularly find that most of the Dominicans are as good as the Cub...

Which reminds me, there is a proposed new arena where the Colts could host their games, one that would be "roofless" if the weather is good, and the roof can cover the entire field when the rain comes in. I don't know if the idea has been approved or not. And the RCA dome isn't that old, so I don't...
