omaha.com: The new U2 album has an Omaha connection.
Lead singer Bono thanks Susan T. Buffett, the late wife of Omaha investor Warren Buffett, in the liner notes of the new CD, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb." The CD hit stores Tuesday.
The Buffetts and Bono have become close in recent years as they have worked on similar causes. The rock singer was in Omaha in August to sing at Susan Buffett's funeral.
In the liner notes at the back of the CD booklet, Bono thanks "all on the DATA campaign." DATA - an acronym standing for Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa - is Bono's nonprofit foundation. The Buffett's daughter, Susan A. Buffett, serves on the board.

mercurynews.com: Frankly, it's been a while since U2 made a great album. The band rolled out a series of iconic records in the '80s, including ``The Joshua Tree,'' which was the final word on spiritual, conscience-driven music at the time. But in the '90s, the group tried to outpace its own fame with a baffling array of self-absorbed discs, pursuing a postmodern, dance-club hipster path that was trendy but smacked of dilettante interlopers sacrificing their soul to stay ahead of an impossibly commercial curve.
Those days seem to be over. The new U2 album, ``How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb,'' which came out Tuesday, is the band's most personal record since ``The Joshua Tree.'' It's not only a joy to see the group rekindle its shimmering '80s guitar-pop sound (with original producer Steve Lillywhite back for many tracks), it's also encouraging to know that the music comes so strongly from the gut once again, without the latest techno-experimental production techniques.

dailysouthtown.com: Several hundred people showed up Wednesday for an impromptu U2 concert outside U.S. Cellular Field. Too bad it was just a tribute band.
The hoax was organized by Erich "Mancow" Muller and the gang at Q101's "Mancow's Morning Madhouse" (WXQX-FM, 101.1). At the start of Wednesday's radio show, they advised listeners to stay tuned for "a U2 surprise."
Fans flocked to a parking lot near Sox park when Mancow said the legendary Irish band would kick off a set at 8 a.m.
The event was believable because U2 played a surprise outdoor concert Monday near the Brooklyn Bridge. The 45-minute set in New York was part of a media blitz to promote their new album, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," which was released Tuesday. [ more]
