U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle, Ireland, is something special. But don't take my word for it. Here are some comments about the DVD intercepted off the U2 Wire.

GirlYello: "Saying that Irish fans generally get drunk is a generalisation and one which I take offence to; the majority of Irish people who go to these gigs go to enjoy themselves, not to get drunk, and acts who play in Ireland frequently say that the Irish are the warmest audiences they play to."

Oh, wait... that's from a sub-argument about all the stuff being thrown around at Slane... Here we go...

Paul: "I just got done watching the concert again for the fifth time... Eve looked so cool! I hope that when my daughter gets that age she is into this kind of music. Just awesome."

Alana: "Yeah, she was a great dancer, wonder if the whole family was there? I think this is by far the best DVD yet! I have them all!"

Beer Fact: "Early colonial law in Massachusetts and other parts of New England mandated that only voters and church members could brew and dispense beer. A related ordinance prohibited the tapping of beer during church services." (Courtesy of 365 Bottles of Beer for the Year)

Camelot... Mattopia... Same thing.

Fuck the Hobbits.

The DVD event of the year is U2 Go Home: Live From Slane Castle, Ireland.

The setting is far more inspirational than the FleetCenter, Boston, where U2's last live DVD was recorded and this one sounds much more ALIVE!

As if that weren't enough, the spirit of Mattimus is in the house. Yeah. I was there!

It was a tour that had such humble beginnings for me, on the rooftop of the Viacom building in Times Square, New York City, when I got to thank Bono for coming.

Ahhh... We went halfway around the globe and back. Now, two years later, this incredible souvenir from my band.

Look for me toward the tip of the heart, on the right side, right off the railing, surrounded by 80,000 raving Bonoholics.

Dream out loud, y'all!

The Cruiser's butt warmers are a marvel. They've kept my (firm) Mattopian biscuits nice and toasty during the current cold snap. Just thought I'd share.
