Usually not in the form of Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry.

Don’t tell that to Martin Prusek, who proudly wears U2 on his mask:

Prusek plays for Dynamo Riga in Russia’s KHL hockey league. You can see a couple more photos of his U2-themed goalie mask on this article that features 19 other unique masks.

The Goal(ie) is Soul

Love Hate Love Trailer from Don Hardy on Vimeo.

Via Twitter, KTF Films just told us that “One Tree Hill” is also used in the film. They said on Twitter earlier this morning that U2 granted permission for the film use.

U2 Songs in ‘Love Hate Love’ Documentary

I visited the Cleveland area in late June, and you may have seen the Flickr photoset of my Rock Hall/U2 pics. Some pretty cool stuff.

But just about an hour south of Cleveland is Canton, Ohio — home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And since I love football almost as much as U2, I had to drive down and check out the HOF. It’s a great place. If you’re a football fan, you really have to make the trip to Canton. And if you’re also a U2 fan, you’ll enjoy seeing this on the wall in the Super Bowl Gallery area:

This is from a glass display highlighting some of the Super Bowl halftime shows, and as you can see, U2’s performance in 2002 is featured front and center. Pretty cool.

(By the way, if you’re interested, here’s my full Flickr set of photos from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.)

U2 is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

“Users are given a live feed of the band’s progress throughout the tour: The first download will feature a video that U2 filmed for users, in which they apologize to fans for missing a leg of their tour,” Variety states.

Um, really? That’s the *same* video that is found on U2.com.

So, why the hype around the BD-Live content when it would appear you can get the same from the band’s own website? It was my hope that the BD-Live content would add something that you couldn’t find anywhere else. It disappoints me that so far this is not the case.

The company who installed the BD-Live content is quick to mention, “It’s important that the world knows the tech is out there,” says Pavement founder Andy Evans. That’s all fine and well if the content is fresh, but when it’s nothing more than a rehash of content already available, then it’s nothing worth tooting a horn about.

BD-Live vs. U2.com

All of that was captured on the video below, but pay close attention to the couple that begins talking at about the 1:00 mark. You’ll hear them say that they traveled from Saskatoon to Edmonton (about 330 miles by car) and didn’t know that the concert had been postponed!

Isn’t that the saddest thing!!?? How do you not know the tour was postponed?? Poor folks.

Well, we don’t know who they are, and they apparently don’t know what @U2 is. But if anyone knows them, tell the guy and girl to come check out @U2 and get in touch with us and we’ll send them out a little something from our @U2 prize box.
