I filed this nugget under “N” for “no big surprise” – U2′s new album gets rave reviews from Rolling Stone magazine. While I say it’s not a surprise, I can’t really offer any critique myself, as I haven’t listened to it yet – I won’t lie, I’m not a huge U2 fan. But U2 is one of those bands that no “cool” critic or publication would ever publish a negative review about, so in that sense, there is absolutely no surprise.
Rolling Stone gave the new album “No Line on the Horizon” a stellar 5-star review which should go a long way in helping their album sales as well as the U2 concert tickets that are already going fast. I’m sure the album is good -U2 has already proven that they can stand the test of time – but I can’t help but wonder how much of the praise is out or respect for their entire catalog.
I guess there’s only one way to find out…

Freshly out of the “what the heck” files, we learned today that headlining the Broadway openings of 2010 will be “Spiderman”. It’s not going to be a low-budget production either… not at all. Rumors are persisting that a budget exceeding $30 Million will accompany the show when it debuts next winter.
A formal announcement was made yesterday that “Spiderman, Turn off the Dark” will officially open on Broadway on February 18, 2010 at the Hilton Theatre. As for casting, it looks like Evan Rachel Wood is a lock to play Mary Jane Watson, while the role of Spiderman is undecided at this point.
The title of the play seems to suggest the Venom may be a part of it as the black suited nemesis of our friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Much of the plot is still shrouded in mystery, but one thing is for sure, Broadway ticket holders will know in less than a year, what Spidey’s next adventure will be.
Rumors are swirling that Michael Jackson tickets may soon become available for Michael Jackson concerts in 2009. Speculation persists that Jackson will perform a series of concerts either in Las Vegas or in London.
As if that isn’t enough for Michael Jackson fans, Thriller the Musical tickets are expected to hit Broadway, possibly as early as 2009!
After much anticipation, U2′s latest release has hit the store shelves today! “No Line on the Horizon” is available today at your local retailers, as well as electronically through sites like Amazon.com and iTunes.
Much speculation has begun about the album as many critics are already praising it as one of the best albums of the year. In fact Rolling Stone magazine not only gave the album 5-stars (its highest rating) but also compares it to one of their greats, saying of Bono and the album, “He is still singing about singing, all over ‘No Line on the Horizon,’ U2′s first album in nearly five years and their best… since ‘Achtung Baby’.”
In addition to the new album, look for U2 in a city near you, as their summer tour travels the world. Don’t procrastinate in getting your U2 tickets ASAP to avoid disappointment. Its guaranteed to be the biggest event of the summer… once again!
Last week, Mets manager Jerry Manuel made some roster decisions for the Mets ’09 team. One of them was naming second year player Daniel Murphy as starting left fielder. Murphy hit .319 last year in limited action, but was certainly expected to have to vie for his starting outfield job along with everyone else, including Ryan Church, Fernando Tatis, and Carlos Beltran.
Much ado is being made of Manuel’s decision by fans and the talking heads who wonder how Manuel could have made such a decision before a single spring game has even been played. Here is how MLB.com’s Marty Noble answers the critics of Manuel’s decision:
The decision and the timing of it did raise my eyebrows. But Manuel was quite impressed by Murphy last summer. I am a pretty firm believer in what Davey Johnson used to say — that jobs are neither won nor lost in exhibition games; that is that managers almost always have a sense of what they want before the first exhibition game pitch. So why not implement the plan at the beginning?
The most important thing to remember is that if Church or Tatis play better than Murphy early on, then he will be replaced in the outfield. Moreover, in baseball everyone on the team gets a chance to play throughout the season, so naming a starter now, will not have long-lasting effects. If you are a Mets ticket holder, you may be seeing several different faces out there in August as the ones you see in April.
