ireland.com: The Edge - aka Dave Evans of U2 - is looking to make a few improvements to the house he paid more than €10 million for in 2002.
He wants to block up the existing entrance of Fortlands on Killiney Hill Road and open a new entrance off the avenue leading to Villa Maria, providing a new driveway and gate opening. He also wants to reposition a portion of the south-west corner wall to give improved sight lines and to raise the south wall and part of the west boundary wall by 1.5 metres. [

azcentral.com: While the epic nature of U2's musical landscape is what first catches the ear, it's also the compelling themes that make the songs stick with the listener.
1. "Where the Streets Have No Name" / "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" 1987. It's a bit of a cheat to list two songs, but the tunes from "The Joshua Tree" have always seemed to be closely connected expressions of spiritual search.

azcentral.com: "It's one of the most banal couplets I've ever heard," Bono says sheepishly about the words he wrote for one of U2's best-known songs. " 'I want to run, I want to hide....' That's not very interesting, but you know what? People don't hear the couplets when we play the song.
"They hear something else in the music. They hear a band talking about a special place, a better place, and asking if the audience wants to go there with them."

hotpress.com: ... And it's not called Vertigo! The man otherwise known as "Bono's doppelganger", Neil McCormick, talks sounds, songwriting and stadium-sized pressure in the most revealing U2 album preview yet.
"All the song titles and the album title itself that have been circulating are wrong," he reveals. "There’s some powerful disinformation going on there – probably coming from them! So the album isn’t called Vertigo and none of those song titles that people are probably searching desperately for on the internet are song titles on the album. I don’t know if I’m allowed to divulge the title, if they’re keeping it secret then they’ve got their own reasons to do that. It’s an interesting title, an interesting philosophical idea as a title, and quite a difficult title."
