The grand opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Library and Eyesore went just about as you would expect. It's still overbudget and not paid for, on stage they apologized for building it on stolen land and Obama himself talked about slavery. Then it got worse. Springsteen and Bono, who look like they have Ozempic Aids, sang sad songs and the whole place was a bummer than tried to have fake fun. Who would have guessed? But here's a great story... the Marine Band at UFC 250 last Sunday night was so great they are all getting a bonus from POTUS and... one of his friends. Josh Hawley is so wrong about Major League Baseball and players writing on their hats he's an embarrassment to Republicans everywhere. I have the goods on him and it's pretty bad. It's a big weekend ahead with the US Open Golf Championship and Team USA in the World Cup. Danny Clinkscale has a couple thoughts. And our Final Final is a local baseball player and two famous musicians being sued over their steakhouse going under. Beware of the this story Patrick and Travis.

Activist Ali Hewson is among several Killiney residents objecting to plans for a new luxury apartment complex near her home. The wife of U2's Bono says the development “goes against the natural character” of the affluent south Dublin suburb. But Hewson is far from the first high-profile figure to weigh in on what gets built nearby. From celebrities to senior politicians, planning objections can quickly become contentious. So where do we draw the line between legitimate local concerns and the urgent need for housing? On today's The Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by Irish Independent multimedia reporter Darragh Nolan to examine the planning battles that made headlines and who gets a say in what is built.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Præsident Macron inviterede i denne uge Donald Trump på middag på selveste Versailles-slottet, hvor præsidenten samtidig underskrev det forståelsespapir, der skal bane vejen for en endelige aftale - og fred - mellem USA og Iran. Hvad har USA opnået efter 110 dages krig med Iran? Er aftalen bedre end Iran-aftalen fra 2015? Vi skal også en tur til Chicago med The Obamas og Bono, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Christina Aguilera og Stevie Wonder som alle optræder torsdag ved åbningen af The Obama Centrer - og som udgør en ret vild troldehær.

If you've heard or used phrases like 'lateral thinking' or referenced the six thinking hats, you have been influenced by the work of Edward de Bono. The philosopher died in 2021, but not before Sarah Tucker had the chance to get to know him. Sarah's book, Edward De Bono: Love Laterally, came out in late 2024 with a foreword from Baroness Kennedy This is just one chapter in Sarah's own exciting story. She has written numerous books, including novels, collections of essays and poetry, and guides to parenting on the road, including 'Have Toddler, Will Travel,' a subject very close to my heart for reasons listeners will be familiar with. Sarah joined the Travel Writing Podcast to discuss how she got to know De Bono and the influence of his work, traveling as a parent, the concept of 'silent travel,' and her extraordinary life of adventure and literature. GUEST BIO: Sarah Tucker is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, travel writer, lecturer and broadcaster. Amongst her works are Love Laterally, the biography of Edward de Bono, who invented the concept of lateral thinking, the bestselling audiobook Playground Mafia; and award winning The Last Year of Being Single. more recently, she has turned her attention to The Boardroom Bard.

EL PAÍS lanza Cómo contar un país, un podcast conmemorativo por el 50º aniversario del periódico, que reflexiona sobre el papel del diario EL PAÍS no solo como testigo de la historia, sino también como agente activo de cambio en la sociedad. La serie recuerda cómo se contaron algunos de los grandes debates de las últimas décadas de la mano de los periodistas que los cubrieron, y mira al futuro con los protagonistas actuales de esa transformación. El cuarto y último episodio va sobre el reto global de la desinformación. Para ello reconstruimos la dana de octubre de 2024 en Valaencia como tormenta perfecta de bulos, fake news y otros fenómenos relacionados con este problema que acecha a las democracias. Se recupera lo que ocurrió con el párking de Bonaire, pero también, con el periodista Ferrán Bono, sobre cómo se dio otro tipo de desinformación alrededor del presidente valenciano, Carlos Mazón; y sobre cómo el periodismo fue esencial para ir desenredando todo.

In Dumb Ass News, Chaz and AJ covered one of the most Florida stories of all time. A woman in her 60's called 9-1-1, after the bar she was in refused to give her jello shots. (0:00) Mike B. from the "Mike, Mike and Oscar Podcast" was on the phone with Chaz and AJ, to handle the top movies about aliens for "On the Board." (3:46) Guy Gripes! For 30 minutes every week, Chaz and AJ allow the men to call in and complain without any judgement or consequences. (18:18) A strange comment was made at a 50th birthday party over the weekend, and Chaz has not been able to understand it. He shared the comment, and asked the Tribe to call in their stories of the strangest things they've heard in conversation. (32:48) Chaz and AJ took a live caller at the very end of the show, and it turned out to be "Bite-sized Bono," who wanted to explain the comment that started a whole conversation earlier in the show. (45:49)
This week's guest is Wendy — The Wicked Queen — a lifelong Alice Cooper devotee who has somehow also met Rod Stewart and Prince, because apparently that's just what happened in the 70s and 80s if you were paying attention. Wendy walks us through what Alice Cooper's music means to her, how she became the reigning villain of the local parade scene (candy included, kids beware), and makes a passionate case for the 1984 Pontiac Fiero — specifically its little-known stealth mode. Then we put her to the ultimate road trip question: Sonny Bono or Bono, one Fiero, no way out?Send us a voicemail and hear yourself on the next episode:https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80sSend us an email:The70svsthe80s@gmail.com

In which Robert & Amy wish you a Happy Mother's Day, and discuss life, religion, and Objectivism. Also, the joy of moms ("clean your room!"), railroads, and a Happy Birthday to Bono, Donovan, and the great Fred Astaire!
Today's episode is a part of our "About Your Mother" series honoring Every Mother Counts. Bono lost his mother Iris when he was 14 years old. She had an aneurysm at her father's funeral and as he says, he's been singing to her ever since. This is a very special conversation, possibly my favorite interview of all time, made more lovely and intimate by the friendship between Bono and Christy going back many years now. (Previously aired) This series supports Every Mother Counts, founded in 2010 and led every day since by Christy Turlington Burns. Please consider joining us with a donation here. https://everymothercounts.org/donate/ Maternal health is a human right and as Bono says, raising kids takes a village and a mother is a village.

Let's be honest, we were all resigned there wasn't going to be a new U2 album until late 2026 or even 2027. But lo and behold, on the morning of February 18th, came the news of a new U2 EP called "Days of Ash" - six new songs Bono said that "couldn't wait; these songs were impatient to be out in the world. They are songs of defiance and dismay, of lamentation." We go deep on the two years since the residency at the Sphere ended up to the surprise release of this EP (and a brief mention of the other surprise EP "Easter Lily" which we'll get to next time) as the band continues to work on the full album coming later this year.

Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about one of the most important questions every creator eventually asks: How do I find my creative voice? Or maybe you've heard it framed another way: How do I develop a personal style? How do I make work that actually feels like mine? How do I stop copying what everyone else is doing and start creating from a place that is uniquely my own? This question comes up all the time because it sits at the center of the creative life. Whether you're a photographer, designer, writer, filmmaker, musician, entrepreneur, or someone who simply feels called to make things, there comes a point where technical ability is not enough. You can know how to use the tools. You can understand the software. You can study the masters. You can follow the trends. You can learn the settings, the systems, the formulas, the workflows. But eventually, you hit a deeper question: What makes this mine? That is what this episode is about. And I want to be clear from the start: finding your creative voice is not about inventing some perfect brand identity overnight. It's not about locking yourself into one narrow lane forever. It's not about deciding, intellectually, "This is my style now," and then forcing every piece of work to fit inside that box. Your creative voice is much more organic than that. It is your fingerprint. Your point of view. Your taste. Your history. Your instincts. Your lived experience. Your way of seeing the world, translated through the things you make. And the only way to find it is to make. Not once. Not occasionally. Not only when you feel inspired. Again and again and again. The Big Question: What Is Personal Style? Personal style can sound like one of those vague creative phrases that floats around in the universe without ever becoming useful. People say things like, "You need to find your style," or "You need to develop your voice," but what does that actually mean? At its simplest, personal style is the thing that makes your work recognizable. It's the equivalent of your handwriting. You don't have to think about your handwriting every time you write your name. It's not something you consciously construct letter by letter. It just comes out of you because it has been shaped by repetition, history, muscle memory, and identity. Your creative style works the same way. It is the unique aesthetic fingerprint that you unconsciously put on everything you make. Think about music. You can hear a Prince song for just a few measures and know it's Prince before his voice even enters. There's a signature there. A rhythm. A tone. A sensibility. A way the work announces itself. Think about photography. You can look at an Ansel Adams landscape and recognize the scale, the drama, the tonality, the reverence for nature. It has a point of view. That's personal style. It's not just what you make. It's how you see. It's what you notice. It's what you repeat without realizing you're repeating it. It's the pattern behind the work. And that matters because without some kind of recognizable point of view, you're just bouncing around. You might be technically capable. You might be able to make a good photograph, a good song, a good design, a good film, a good essay. But if there's nothing distinctive about the way you make it, people have a harder time connecting that work back to you. Personal style is what helps the work become yours. Why Your Creative Voice Matters There are two big reasons personal style matters. The first is personal. If you spend your life chasing everyone else's style, you're going to end up miserable. Now, let's be honest: early in the creative journey, imitation is part of the process. That's normal. That's healthy. That's how we learn. You see someone whose work you admire and you try to understand how they did it. You copy a lighting setup. You study a sentence structure. You recreate a beat. You reverse-engineer a design. You try to make something that looks or sounds or feels like the thing that inspired you. There's nothing wrong with that. In the beginning, imitation helps you learn how to move the tools around. It helps you close the gap between what you see in your mind and what you're actually capable of making. But imitation is not the destination. If all you ever do is copy what's trendy, or borrow someone else's point of view, or chase whatever style is getting attention right now, you are not expressing yourself. You are expressing the culture around you. And that is a direct path to burnout. Because the reason we make things, at the deepest level, is expression. We make because something inside wants to come out. We make because it feels good to turn an internal experience into something real in the world. We make because creativity is one of the ways we become more fully ourselves. If your work is always a response to someone else's style, you lose that connection. You become a mirror instead of a source. The second reason personal style matters is practical. If you want to do creative work professionally, you do not want to be paid merely for your time. There is nothing wrong with getting paid for your time. That can be part of the path. But the ultimate goal is not to be treated like a pair of hands. The ultimate goal is to be paid for your vision. You don't want someone to hire you because you own a camera. You want them to hire you because only you see the assignment that way. You don't want someone to hire you because you can operate software. You want them to hire you because your taste, your judgment, and your perspective create value. You don't want to be interchangeable. The most recognized creatives in the world are not valuable because they can execute a task. They are valuable because they bring a specific point of view to the table. That's what separates craft from commodity. When people can recognize your fingerprints on the work, when they can say, "That feels like you," you begin to move into a different category. You're no longer just competing on speed, price, or availability. You're competing on vision. And that is where the upside is. The Creative Gap One of the most important parts of this conversation is what Ira Glass famously called the creative gap. The creative gap is the distance between what you can see in your mind and what you're actually capable of making right now. Every creator knows this feeling. You have a vision. You can feel what you want the work to be. You can almost see it, hear it, taste it. But when you sit down to make the thing, the result falls short. The photograph doesn't look the way it looked in your head. The song doesn't hit the way you imagined. The essay feels clumsy. The design feels flat. The film doesn't carry the emotion you hoped it would. That gap is frustrating. But it is also the path. Craft is how you close the gap. You make, you study, you adjust, you learn, you make again. Over time, your ability catches up to your taste. You get better at translating the thing in your mind into the thing in the world. But here's the trap: If you spend that entire process only copying other people, you might improve technically without ever developing a voice of your own. You might become skilled at imitation. But mastery is not just being able to reproduce what already exists. Mastery is being able to make what only you can make. Personal Style Is Your Point of View Your creative voice is not just an aesthetic. It's not just black and white photography, clean typography, heavy brushstrokes, fast sketches, cinematic lighting, sparse production, or bold color. Those things can be part of a style, but they are not the whole thing. Your style is the point of view underneath those choices. It is the reason you reach for certain tools. The reason you frame things a certain way. The reason you simplify here and exaggerate there. The reason you are drawn to certain subjects, moods, colors, rhythms, textures, or stories. The episode uses a great example from the world of design: imagine trying to design a tennis shoe inspired by a glass bottle of gin. Suddenly, the bottle becomes a filter. You might notice the transparency, the edges, the shape, the weight, the way light moves through it. Those qualities start informing the shoe. That is a useful way to think about style. Your personal style is the filter your work passes through. It's not limited to one medium. If you are a photographer, designer, musician, writer, or multidisciplinary creator, your style should still carry across what you make. The medium may change, but the point of view travels. That's when people can look at a piece and say: That feels like you. Not because you repeated yourself mechanically, but because your way of seeing is present. How Do You Find Your Creative Voice? Here's the part people don't always want to hear: It takes time. There is no shortcut that replaces making the work. You can think about your style. You can journal about it. You can moodboard it. You can study other artists. You can talk about your influences. You can define your values. All of that can be useful. But none of it replaces the act of making. The best way to find your personal style is to make as much as you can, at a regular cadence, ideally as quickly and consistently as possible. Because your style is not something you force into existence. It is something you discover through repetition. You make one thing. Then ten things. Then a hundred things. At first, it may feel random. You may feel like you're all over the place. You may try on other people's approaches. You may borrow. You may experiment. You may make things that don't feel like you at all. That's okay. The making is the sorting mechanism. Over time, patterns start to appear. You notice what you keep returning to. You notice what feels alive. You notice what feels false. You notice the choices you make when nobody is telling you what to do. And eventually, if you put twenty of your pieces on a wall mixed in with other people's work, someone should be able to walk in and pick yours out. That is the litmus test. Not because every piece looks identical, but because there is a through-line. There is a signal. There is a voice. Your Style Might Not Be What You Expected One of the most important reminders in this episode is that your personal style may not be what you thought it would be. You might think you want to be known for clean, minimal design, only to realize that your real energy comes through in fast, expressive, messy sketches. You might think you want to make quiet, polished work, only to discover that your strength is intensity, humor, or chaos. You might think you want to be one kind of artist, but the work keeps revealing that you are someone else. That can be uncomfortable. But it can also be liberating. Your creative voice is not always the version of yourself you imagined. Sometimes it is the version of yourself that keeps showing up when you stop performing. This is why making is so important. You cannot discover your true style by sitting around and thinking about who you wish you were. You discover it by creating enough evidence that you can finally see who you actually are. What You'll Hear in This Episode This episode breaks the question of creative voice into three practical parts: what personal style is, why it matters, and how to actually find it. Here are the ideas worth listening for: Why personal style is like your creative handwriting — the unconscious fingerprint you put on everything you make Why imitation is useful early on, but dangerous if you never move beyond it How the creative gap works — and why craft is what helps you close it Why you don't want to be paid only for your time, but for your point of view How recognizable style builds value, trust, and creative opportunity Why you can't force your personal style — you have to uncover it through making Why making 100 things teaches you more than endlessly thinking about the perfect direction How specialization can actually create more freedom, not less Why trying to be everything to everyone will dilute your work and drain your energy Timecodes So You Can Jump to What You Need If you're not listening straight through, here are a few landmarks to help you find the part that speaks to where you are right now: 01:45 – Welcome and the big question: how do you develop a personal style? 02:04 – The three-part framework: what personal style is, why it matters, and how to find it 02:50 – What personal style actually means for photographers, designers, writers, musicians, and creators 03:18 – Personal style as your creative handwriting or aesthetic fingerprint 04:34 – Why developing a personal style matters 05:25 – Why chasing everyone else's style leads to misery and burnout 06:08 – Ira Glass, the creative gap, and the path toward mastery 07:10 – Why you want to be paid for your point of view, not just your time 09:46 – Edward de Bono, Stefan Sagmeister, and using outside references to understand style 11:31 – The tactical answer: how to actually find your personal style 11:46 – Why there are no shortcuts — and why making is the path 12:32 – Why your unique life experience is the source of your point of view 13:41 – Make one thing, then ten things, then one hundred things 14:00 – The litmus test: can someone identify your work in a crowd? 16:06 – Why you cannot be all things to all people 16:55 – How mastery in one area can help you learn and master many things 18:01 – Why specialization unlocks opportunity instead of limiting it Read This If You Feel Like You Haven't Found Your Voice Yet If you feel like you haven't found your creative voice yet, I want you to hear this: You are not behind. You are in the process. It is easy to look at someone whose style seems fully formed and assume they were born with it. But what you are seeing is usually the result of years of making, failing, repeating, refining, borrowing, rejecting, and returning to the work. Style is not a lightning bolt. It is sediment. It builds layer by layer through practice. Every project teaches you something. Every experiment leaves a trace. Every failed attempt helps you understand what is not yours. Every finished piece gives you more information. So if you feel unclear, the answer is not to wait until you feel certain. The answer is to make. Make the thing. Then make another. Then make another. Then look back and listen for the pattern. Your voice is not hiding from you. It is waiting for enough evidence to reveal itself. The Danger of Chasing Trends There is a difference between research and copying. Looking broadly at culture, studying what's happening, noticing what inspires you, and learning from other artists is part of being creatively alive. But copying one person's style over and over again is not research. It's imitation. And if you spend too much time chasing trends, you train yourself to look outward for permission instead of inward for direction. Trends can teach you what's happening now. They cannot tell you who you are. That doesn't mean you need to ignore the world. It means you need to metabolize what you see. Take in inspiration. Study widely. Notice what moves you. But then ask: What do I have to say about this? What is my relationship to this idea? What part of this connects to my lived experience? How does this become mine? Your work does not become original because it appears out of nowhere. Nothing does. Your work becomes original when your influences pass through your point of view. Don't Overthink It. Make It. There is a line in this episode that matters: Don't overthink it. Just make it. That does not mean thinking has no place in the creative process. Reflection matters. Strategy matters. Taste matters. Intention matters. But thinking cannot replace making. A lot of creators get stuck because they want to understand their style before they create enough work to reveal it. That's backwards. You don't find your voice and then make the work. You make the work and find your voice through it. This is why personal projects are so valuable. They give you a place to create without needing permission. They give you a space to follow curiosity. They let you experiment without the pressure of a client, an audience, or a perfect outcome. Personal projects are where your style gets room to breathe. Not everything has to be monetized. Not everything has to be optimized. Not everything has to be posted. Not everything has to become part of your portfolio. Sometimes the point is simply to learn what happens when you follow the impulse. Questions to Ask Yourself If you want to turn this episode into action, take a few minutes and sit with these questions: What kind of work do I keep returning to, even when nobody asks me to? Whose style am I currently copying, and what am I learning from that imitation? Where have I mistaken trend-chasing for creative growth? What choices show up again and again in my work? What subjects, themes, colors, sounds, rhythms, or ideas keep pulling me back? What would I make if I stopped trying to be impressive? What would I make if I stopped trying to be for everyone? Can someone recognize my work without seeing my name attached to it? What do I need to make 10 more of before I judge whether I have a style? A Simple Practice for Finding Your Creative Voice Here's a simple exercise: Choose one format. A photo series, a set of sketches, a short essay series, a beat tape, a design study, a daily video, whatever fits your craft. Make 10 versions. Not one perfect version. Ten honest attempts. Do them quickly enough that you can't over-polish the life out of them. Put them side by side. Look for what repeats. Ask someone you trust what feels most like you. Then make 10 more. The goal is not to force consistency. The goal is to gather evidence. What do you keep doing naturally? What feels alive? What feels borrowed? What feels like performance? What feels like truth? Your style is hidden in those patterns. Specialization Is Not a Trap A lot of creators resist personal style because they worry it will limit them. They think, "If I become known for one thing, I'll lose my range." But specialization does not have to mean becoming narrow. It means becoming recognizable. You can have range and still have a voice. In fact, range might be part of your style. But if nobody can identify the through-line, if your work feels like a different person made it every time, it becomes harder for people to understand what you stand for creatively. That does not mean you have to lock yourself into black and white portraits forever. It means you have to make enough work that your point of view becomes visible across the range. The goal is not sameness. The goal is coherence. You Cannot Be All Things to All People This is one of the hardest lessons in creative work. You cannot be all things to all people. If you try, your work will suffer. Your energy will suffer. Your sense of self will suffer. When you chase 58 different styles because you want everyone to like you, you dilute the very thing that makes your work valuable. The goal is not to please everyone. The goal is to express something true enough that the right people recognize it. That takes courage because it means letting go of some possibilities. It means not being for every client, every audience, every trend, every platform, every room. But that is also where freedom begins. When you stop trying to be everything, you can finally become something specific. And specific is powerful. The Path Is Create, Share, Sustain The loop is simple, but not easy: Create. Share. Sustain. Get feedback. Make again. That's how you grow. Not by waiting for clarity. Not by endlessly planning. Not by collecting inspiration forever. Not by thinking your way into a fully formed identity. You create. You put work into the world. You pay attention. You learn. You keep going. Over time, that loop builds both style and mastery. And here's the advanced part: once you learn how to master one thing, you start to understand how learning itself works. You begin to recognize the patterns of growth. You understand what deliberate practice feels like. You know how to move through frustration. You know how to close the creative gap. Mastery in one area can become a doorway into mastery in others. But first, you have to do the work in front of you. The Core Idea Your creative voice is not something you find by waiting. It is something you uncover by making. Your personal style is your point of view made visible. It is the creative fingerprint that appears when you have made enough work to stop performing and start revealing. Yes, study the people you admire. Yes, learn the tools. Yes, imitate in the beginning. Yes, experiment broadly. But then return to the work. Make one thing. Then ten. Then a hundred. Look for the patterns. Trust what keeps showing up. Let your lived experience inform the choices. Stop trying to be all things to all people. The world does not need a perfect copy of someone else. It needs the thing only you can make. Until next time: focus on the making, trust your point of view, and remember — your creative voice is already in there. The work is how you bring it out.

Big Tony. For thirty years, that's all I had known him as and I'm guessing I'm not alone. Like “The Rock”, Sting, or Bono, he doesn't need more than one name. “Big Tony” is enough. It carries weight. It means something; and it fits. But behind the name is the man: Tony “Big Tony” Alvarez. And while a lot of people know the name, far fewer know the full story. The truth is, his path is deeper, broader, and more impactful than most would expect; and certainly more than I knew. The accomplishments span decades and the stories behind them are even better. As Tony tells it, he's lived two thirty-year careers running in parallel. One in the surf world where he held many roles; always grinding, building brands, at the biggest names, and leaving his mark across the industry and the people. The other path; in personal security, water safety, and training; teaching discipline, awareness, and protection at the highest levels. Two paths. One mindset: show up, do the work, make a positive impact, leave it better than you found it & live with mana. Today, Big Tony Alvarez leads a life grounded with a commitment to Honor. Courage and Protection. He's proof that where you start doesn't define where you finish. From a kid with very little to a respected and accomplished leader forged by discipline, culture, determination (and fun) in and out of the water. His story is about staying true to who you are, pursuing what drives you, and never bending to expectations that don't fit. Know Your Rootz. That's how you build something that lasts. 0:00 – “Introducing Big Tony & Episode Overview” 2:30 – Tony's Background & Early Life 7:15 – How the Journey Started 12:05 – Key Turning Points & Breakthrough Moments 17:20 – Challenges Faced & Lessons Learned 22:45 – Building Discipline & Staying Consistent 28:10 – Mindset, Pressure & Decision-Making 33:40 – What Separates Winners From Everyone Else 39:05 – Personal Growth & Evolving Perspective 44:30 – Advice for the Next Generation 49:50 – What's Next & Future Vision 55:15 – Final Thoughts & Closing Takeaways

U2 is a band from the north side of Dublin that became a global phenomenon-and while its four members have traveled the world over for almost fifty years, some of the most critical points on their journey have been in Southern California. The Joshua Tree is the best-known example of U2's artistic immersion in the Golden State, but the band began drawing inspiration from California's landscape as early as 1981 during their first arrival in the U.S. for the Boy tour. From deserts to beaches to urban streets, Southern California features dozens of sites that are both sacred and significant to U2 history. For the first time, these sites are documented and categorized in a single resource to inform and support the Southern California pilgrimages of U2 fans. I Go There With You (2026) provides the information U2 fans need before embarking on such a quest, whether individually or in groups. Each site has a story, and this book tells those stories-along with must-have details for trips that require extra planning and foresight. In addition to essential information on each site's place in U2 history, author Brook W. Flagg aims to inspire U2's most devoted followers with anecdotes and scrapbooked images. Just as Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. traveled through Southern California along the road from innocence to experience, their fans can find catharsis and healing by going into the mystic portals of the past-places where, over the decades, U2 found pieces of what they were looking for. Brook Flagg on Twitter. Bradley Morgan is a media arts professional in Chicago and author of U2's The Joshua Tree: Planting Roots in Mythic America (Backbeat Books, 2021), Frank Zappa's America (LSU Press, 2025), and U2: Until the End of the World (Gemini Books, 2025). He manages partnerships on behalf of CHIRP Radio 107.1 FM and is the director of its music film festival. Bradley on Facebook and Bluesky. Learn more about your ad choices.
