Happy MOTHER'S DAY to my sister JODY and all the mommies out there. My mother is gone, miss her every day. Say "Thank you." Say "I love you." Hug yours. Bring her breakfast in bed. Get her a spa day. Bake for her. Don't whine. Don't complain. Or just leave her alone... U2 have been just about my favorite band for 30 years. Loved the music. The shows. The fact that they're lifelong friends. Their organization is stellar. They're loyal to their friends and those that supported them. But most of all they never gave up like many other bands. With every record, they went for it even if results were mixed. Never content to run in place. When I heard they were doing a 30th-anniversary tour for THE JOSHUA TREE it didn't seem right. They looked back, but only to respect their influences. Their music always looked ahead. I didn't want U2 to be like other bands doing similar things. But after watching clips and seeing social media posts from Friday night, it looks great. The songs, of course. For those at the original tour when the album came out, we still remember the chills when "Where the Streets Have No Name" started and the house lights went up as the song kicked in past EDGE's intro. The visuals at the show look stunning. So like all their other tours (missed the last one as I was sick), I'm going... Many have been watching the debacle and aftermath of THE FYRE FESTIVAL. Remember the ridiculous pitch deck? Well, an audio recording of CEO (and scammer) BILLY MCFARLAND's conference call meeting with staff is a jaw dropper. Essentially, no answers. He's not firing, not paying and says they're on their own if the FBI calls. I've had many shortcomings as a CEO as I dealt with illness. This guy is healthy and deserves a platinum medal for incompetence... THE WASHINGTON POST on the COMEY handling at THE WHITE HOUSE. Good stuff... A lot of things break my heart. This is one of them. Another item makes one ask, does 84 percent mean 8 years?... Sports rights were supposed to be a saving grace for TV networks, but have they become too expensive? As ESPN restructures, other media companies are deciding whether to invest in live games. How will the future of sports media look and who wants to pay for it? MediaSET: "Will Sports Rights Save Media Companies or Doom Them?"... This little ditty from MACRON is awesome... So my nephew is sleeping over. I promised he could play XBOX and then this happens. Hey, MICROSOFT! I have an APPLE computer, not a WINDOWS PC and I don't use flash drives. It's 2017 and I live in the cloud and not looking to pass around the STUXNET virus. Instead, we watched HUGO and I was reminded how absolutely fantastic the sets and visuals are... Happy Birthday to DANIEL PASETTE, LANE GOLDBERG, and BRIAN AUGUST.
