Does anybody know where the Edge got his name from or why they call him The Edge ? I was thinking the other day its rather an unusual name to call someone, without a story behind it.
Speaking of Lenny Kravitz, I just saw the Catching Fire today and his performance as Cinna was superb. In fact, I'd say that Catching Fire was a fantastic movie in general. Great entertainment value.
'This week U2 finalised and signed a new management contract with Live Nation and Guy Oseary.
The band now want to publicly thank Paul McGuinness for his extraordinary leadership, guidance and friendship over the last 35 years.
Paul has saved us from ourselves many times over and we would not be U2 without him.
Sometime soon, U2 will begin a new adventure around the world and we totally understand and respect Paul's desire to not run away with the circus – AGAIN.
Perhaps more than any music management operation in history, Paul, alongside Trevor, Keryn and the team at Principle Management has always fought for our rights, for our music, for our fans and for the principles that we and he believe in. His central lesson was that if you cared for your "art", you must also "take care of business" as historically with rock and roll bands, the latter has undone the former.
We are relieved he will remain on as the mentor-in-chief.
We've known Guy for a long, long time, and we're excited that with Paul's blessing he's agreed to take us on. He is a brilliant man with a lot of energy, and knows he has got some big shoes to fill.'
It seems like people are interpreting this as an end of an era. But let's not forget that the end of one era means the start of another. I'm sad to see this era close, but excited to see what the future brings.
