U2: I Will Follow

As you know by now, I'll be spending a little time in Ireland this spring. And if I have a little luck, I won't be alone. U2, fresh off their late November release of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, "will be embarking on a major world tour in 2005" (www.u2.com/tour) . U2, of course, is an Irish band that got their start in Dublin back in 1978. I've never seen them live, but I'll be crossing my fingers for a homecoming show later this year for one of the greatest rock bands ever. Even if they don't come to Ireland while I'm there, a weekend trip to catch them in Vienna, Paris, Zurich, or Manchester wouldn't sound too bad, would it? Bring on the tour dates!
