  1. U2 should do a Christmas album and call it quits.

    • OR, maybe a duets album with Rod Stewart. Sorry, don’t want to be a downer, but U2 stopped making sense to me after Achtung Baby.

  2. Michael in SoCal

    Any word on a release from the Joshua Tree tour? Didn’t feel like seeing U2 at the Rose Bowl, but I’m sure a DVD and the audio would be great.

  3. Ken, Please explain.
    If millions (or even just hundreds of thousands) enjoy new U2 material, why should they call it quits?
