It's May and all I can think about is the tour. Our lads from Dublin are the best at what they do. They blew my mind nearly thirty years ago (wow) and I'm feeling like that high school kid counting down the days to the show. Tickets are about ten times more than what than what I spent back in 1987, and it doesn't matter. When it comes to a U2 show, I am all in. I wrote a little piece about how they have stayed relevant in their fourth decade of existence. I'd love to hear your thoughts. https://achtungninja.wordpress.com/2017/05/04/all-because-of-you/

Ballads, every great rock band has one that lives on. It is safe to say our favorite lads from Dublin have much more than that. For me, With Or Without You—both the song and video are what a ballad is supposed to sound like and look like. One of the most atmospheric songs/videos ever. Incredible. I wrote a short piece about this awesome song. If you have time and interest, please check it out. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Hey everyone, I’ve been re-watching all of the music videos from The Joshua Tree and remember how truly great they were. For me With or W

I’ve been listening to TJT closely and have not done that in a very long time. A discussion with my buddy’s daughter about how it doesn’t sound like an eighties album compelled me to really think about it. There is something strange and un-eighties about it. I guess that’s one of the things makes it so awesome. But it made me wonder: if it didn’t come out in the eighties, what decade would it belong? I wrote post about it and would love to know what others think. Thank you! https://achtungninja.wordpress.com/2017/04/06/another-time-another-place/ -

Can't believe this bad boy is 30 years old. It still kicks major *ss today. Totally looking forward to seeing in May! What was old is new again!! FYI, I wrote a blog post about this fantastic album. Love to know yours thoughts! Thank you! AchtungNinja.com -
Big, big day here... The Joshua Tree is 30 years old. One of the most important albums in U2 history, and most certainly an important part of the soundtrack of our lives. For many it was the album that made them fans of the band, or they were already fans but it helped them to convince those around that this was THE band. What does it mean for you? How are you planning to celebrate this anniversary? Share with the community your collection, adventures... your dreams surrounding The Joshua Tree.

I am wondering how our beloved boys from Dublin will perform these absolutely fantastic songs. The old guy in me would love to hear them played they way that I hear them 30 years ago. But I've read that the band is looking to breathe new life into these fan favorites. My question is: how do you improve upon a classic? I wrote a blog post about a recent experience about whether or not songs from The Joshua Street achieved classic status. Love to know what you think. Thanks. https://achtungninja.wordpress.com/

30 years ago I became a fan. Knowing how quickly my music tastes changed, I never would have imagined that I still love the band today, just like I did back in the 80s. Back then I was young and now I am old. It's so so awesome to see that our boys are still doing their thing. I wrote a piece on what it was like to be introduced to the best band on the planet. If you are so inclined, please check it out. Thanks! https://achtungninja.wordpress.com/
