We have been stuffed full of them. Even in these self-restrained pages, it has been impossible to avoid the end-of-the-decade accountings of the 10 best such-and-suches and the 10 worst fill-in-the-blanks. And so, in the spirit of rock star excess, I offer yet another. The main difference, if it matters, is that this list looks forward, not backward. So here, then, are 10 ideas that might make the next 10 years more interesting, healthy or civil. Some are trivial, some fundamental. They have little in common with one another except that I am seized by each, and moved by its potential to change our world. http://www.macphisto.net/article811.html http://www.macphisto.net/article811.html Sun, 03 Jan 2010 18:44:16 GMT (indipendent.ie) -- IRISH rockers U2 have delivered a late Christmas present to their loyal fans this weekend by promising to release a new album by June. Speaking exclusively to the Sunday Independent at Leopardstown Races yesterday, U2 frontman Bono revealed the band had been working hard on new material in the run-up to Christmas and are hoping to have a new chart-topping album on shelves before the summer. Speaking about the upcoming release, Bono described how the band had been putting in the hard work in the studio in recent weeks: "We are working away and we have a couple of yearlings in the stables that could really turn out to be thoroughbreds in the future," he said. http://www.macphisto.net/article810.html http://www.macphisto.net/article810.html Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:08:56 GMT We've just refreshed our site dedicated to U2 tours with a modern design and made some additions to the content and usability of the site.
