U2 in residence on Letterman


U2s 2009 Grammys Opening celebrated in a 'raw session'

U2 continue to set 'pop culture' records as they take up residence on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' on CBS in the US and hopefully on that week on TEN here in Oz!!
This is the week of the release of 'No Line on the Horizon' which while I predict it will be different & interesting will not be choc full of life changing stuff... more likely a few glimpses at some interesting themes...
As a fan of the phlegmatic Letterman I look forward to a few late nights on the computer with the Late Show on in the background from March 2nd...
For the uninitiated this program is recorded in the 'Ed Sullivan Theatre*' which is the same place the Beatles debuted in the US, Elvis was filmed from the waist up and many fine comics got their start. Of late Dave's best segments have been the stream of 'Great Moments in American Presidential History' a nightly contrasting [until recently] of some seminal public speeches with those less than stunning moments from George W Bush!!
Of course, Simone was pretty excited to have scooped me on this U2 news, which is code for tragically reading the ABC website on a Friday night at work during a lull [closet net junkie]!!
