I remember jumping through hoops to get a copy of this on CD in 1998. Finally found a store with copies willing to send one to Canada in return for a money order. Took about a year to get it. πŸ˜‚

Was asked about this one on the @u2songs.bsky.social account. Yes, those are my copies of the β€œThree” EP. There’s another dozen or so that didn’t make the photo. β€œOut of Control” was written on my 5th birthday and has always been a fave, and as the first record I’ve always looked for copies…

Fall 1993. Dressed up for some event in university. What’s that around my neck? A handmade pendant of Cosmo the Achtung Baby? Sure is. It would glow-in-the-dark too.

His eyes are so beautiful. Say so much with just two dark spots.

At the time I’m not sure how many knew who I was. With the film out now I suspect more would recognize it.

Saw Superman today. It didn’t disappoint. I’ve been waiting for that for a while now. And Krypto is the goodest boy. This new DC Universe is off to a strong start.

Here to add a third. The answers are almost always wrong. And it’s just a waste of resources to provide them.

This is part of the research I have been doing for my second book about U2. Currently finishing the proposal for my editor.

Marc Garneau inspired me. In 1984 he was the first Canadian in space at a time when my head was in the stars. He has an honorary degree from TUNS, where I studied Engineering, a career path he helped lead me to. I also got to meet him there in 90s.
