Column: off the record…, vol. 12-495
@U2,
January 01, 2012
Happy New Year! (Wow, is it really January 1, 2012, already? Holy moley....) Like most everyone else, I tend to do a little more reflection at this time of year, and I've been thinking about what a wonderful group of people we have on the @U2 staff. Smart, talented, funny and caring ... those are a few of the words that come to my mind. For all the reflection, we haven't collectively done any group planning ahead for 2012 yet, but that'll come soon once things settle down after the holidays. I'm pretty sure we'll be doing another edition of the big U2 Fan Survey that we've done several times in the past (but not since 2010). That may happen as early as next month, but it's too soon for me to say that with any certainty. Congrats are due to longtime U2 producer Steve Lillywhite, who was named a Commander of the British Empire this weekend by Queen Elizabeth. He reacted on Twitter, calling the honor "bloody marvelous!!"
@U2 reader Cristina B. recently passed on news that Bono is expected to attend Carnaval in Rio in February. It starts around February 18th and runs for five days. Former president Lula da Silva has apparently invited Bono (they're pretty good friends). And finally ... since this is the space where we often share a video link, I think it would be kinda silly not to share this one on a day like today.
