I'm 31 and I teach to a bunch of college kids that think I'm a grandpa. Ageism sucks.
Rock music is for the young at heart, who cares what's your age.

Exactly. Thanks, Cesar... I never could say anything in 20 words or less!

But one thing is trying and another is to do it ridiculously or to do it right, and a different thing is if you succeed at it or not.

And the important thing for me is that I honestly believe U2 has been doing it the right way (ie not ridiculously) except for a couple of things -like I said before, Boots and Miracle comes to mind as them trying too hard on looking younger than they are and failing- but overall I think their music is suited to their age.

The article says something like "yeah, keep on playing, just do it in that corner and don't make too much noise, please, so I can still like you for what you were". Screw that.

Also I can't see the difference between their attitude before/after the tour, for him to say something like they learned a lesson from the SOI backslash. I really don't know what the writer means with that.

Basically what I mean is that the music in the Bomb album was created by better musicians than the music in the War album.

Regardless of if the War album is better or not than Bomb, the music itself has more qualities in Bomb than in War. I prefer War since -besides still having great riffs and tunes- the energy and emotion expressed in there (proper to their younger age) is more fulfilling to me than the Bomb songs, even if I think the latter has "better" music.

Another way to say it is: I don't care about David Gilmour's albums, and I absolutely love Roger Waters'. Yet I reckon that Gilmour is a better musician and his music has more qualities than RW.

Courtesy of Triple M Melbourne this morning we have a nice tour rumour.

Nui Te Koha stated in his regular slot on Triple M's Hot Breakfast with Eddie McGuire that a U2 tour announcement was imminent in the next "couple of weeks"- slated for March 2016. Nui indicated that the tour would be in arenas- not stadiums. You can find the podcast on the Hot Breakfast Page with Nui's comments in the last minute of the July 15 2015 podcast.

Triple M is also running a Song for Someone promotion which includes a prize of seeing U2 in NY's famous Madison Square Garden.

We will keep you posted to any official news as we or if we get it."
