1. As an avid golfer, I came across excerpts of this book written by a golfer with the help of one of the great golf journalists out there. Here's a link to the book excerpt that is very U2-releated (isn't the title a giveaway?) including a U2 concert first date, meeting Bono, and a concert 20 years after that first. I don't want to spoil it but when I shared this in the U2 FB groups, many were teary-eyed.

    Hope you all find the read worth your time.

    I'd like to give a special shoutout to U2 start - I really tracked the 2005 concert referenced in the book, I downloaded the track of One Tree Hill and shared it with the authors. It's something that could only be possible with the incredible archive of U2Start.

    Cheers,

    Oh, wow. Thanks for sharing.

    I always wondered where that One Tree Hill "glorified" snippet from Oakland 05 came from. I guess we know now. Really really sad story
