U2 released their third title from their forthcoming album Songs of Surrender, an album of 40 "reimagined" songs from their existing discography. This time, it is One, their iconic single from their iconic album Achtung Baby!, released in 1991.
Today, I stumbled across the title of what will be my third novel: Zeítenwende.
The publisher is still working on its release, but it looks like Friendship Games is available for pre-order for the Kindle version. Paperback should be available then, too, but I'll post when it is ready.
First, some news: Friendship Games has a preliminary release date: February 21st! Knock on wood! Audiobook a little later, in March or April 2023.
U2 has a new album coming in March. It isn't an album of new material; rather, it comprises 40 "re-imagined" songs from their discography. The album coincides with Bono's recently published (and very good) memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story. (I'll write and post my review soon).
Fragile, by Ian Wong.
Looking forward to U2's forthcoming album Songs of Surrender where they "re-imagine" 40 songs from their discography. Snippets from Bono's book Surrender are promising. But this, "Pride (In the Name of Love)", their first release from Songs of Surrender, is NOT reassuring.
I've never been a reader of poetry. But I do dabble here and there. As a Geographer, I am more keen on poetry related to place. I am partial to the poetic writings of Yi-Fu Tuan, for instance, though I haven't seen any actual works of poetry by him.
This is one I don't recommend. Anthony Keidis is a lifelong jackass. And a privileged one at that. Abusive of women, friends, his bandmates and, of course, drugs. I read all the way through hoping for a redeemable quality or epiphany.
I vividly remember the flag of the USSR coming down at midnight on Christmas night in Moscow, in 1991, and the tricolor flag of Russia rising in its place.
