  1. THE EDGE EMBARRASSED BY WHITE STRIPES REWRITE

    U2 star THE EDGE avoided an embarrassing plagiarism battle when he played a new song for WHITE STRIPES star JACK WHITE.
    The guitarist thought he'd composed a new hit and played the untitled track for his brother, who insisted it sounded familiar to White's Seven Nation Army - a track The Edge loves.
    Unconvinced, the rocker sat down with White while they were shooting new guitar documentary It Might Get Loud and played him the song.
    The Irishman says, "I went back and listened, and it wasn't exactly (Seven Nation Army), but it was way too close. I played it for Jack, and he was like, 'Mmm, it's a bit close, isn't it?'"


  3. Very interesting news about Jack White and the Edge.
    I am sure he had teh best of intentions by doing that. They are both
    musicians who admire each others musical style

  4. Big rumors flying around Chicago right now that U2 will perform at Oprah's opening show Tues. They are blocking off Michigan Ave (an extremely crowded street) for 2 days. Some already scheduled performers are the Black Eyed Peas.

    I might believe these rumors, only because Bono and Oprah went shopping down Michigan Ave a few years ago for the Red campaign. I'm gonna go, just to make sure that I'm not missing a sneak performance.
