rollingstone.com: For two weeks before MTV debuted U2's video for the new single "Vertigo," fans had a chance to see the band perform the song on TV -- in an iPod commercial.
The members of U2 are passionate proponents of Apple's iPod -- "It's the most interesting art object since the electric guitar in terms of music," says Bono -- but the band's new partnership with Apple Computer still qualifies as a surprise. In their twenty-five-year history, U2 have never licensed their music for commercial use or even accepted tour sponsorship. [ more]

newsonline.com.au: The man who stole U2 singer Bono's lyrics said he gave them back because they were not good enough to sell to anyone.
"None of them made sense," Irish bandit Gerry O'Dowd said.
Mr O'Dowd said he had tried for 23 years to pass them off as his own and had entered them in a lot of poetry awards and had never won anything.
"I thought I would become rich, you know, like Bono," Mr O'Dowd said.
But Bono said he would use them on U2's next album and thanked Mr O'Dowd for giving them back. [ more]

lasvegasmercury.com: There's always a concern as to whether veteran music acts can compete in the increasingly youth-oriented pop market. Adults are buying less and less music, and kids are buying mostly hip hop, mall pop and emo. Where does that leave, say, R.E.M.? Madonna? The Beastie Boys? Janet Jackson? All four of those artists released albums in the past 18 months, and all of them were considered commercial flops.
U2, turning 25 this year and arguably still the world's biggest rock act, is leaving nothing to chance. Though its 11th studio album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, won't be available until Nov. 23, the band's PR push started in September, and is currently going full speed ahead. If Bomb bombs, it won't be from a lack of effort--this looks to be one of the most strategized rock campaigns of the year. [ more]
