That's an understatement.

I'm like the laziest person on the planet, but I'll go to Philly in a heartbeat for... anything.

All Because Of YOu Video to air..

Game On! 'All Because of You' Video Debuts Tonight!

The video for U2's new single in North America, 'All Because of You', will premiere on the ABC network in the US tonight.

The video, directed by Phil Joanou and shot live in New York at the end of November, will air as part of the half-time coverage of the FedEx Orange Bowl BCS National Championship game.

Viewers watching the game, featuring No. 1 USC against No. 2 Oklahoma, will see a special two minute version of the video as the backdrop for first-half highlights.

The entire video will be available to view on ESPN.com at the conclusion of the halftime coverage.

And if you miss it then, it will also feature on the 12 o'clock midnight, ET (9:00 p.m., PT) and 1:00 a.m., ET editions of SportsCenter on ESPN - playing over full Championship game highlights.

U2: Dismantled will be on Much Music at 10 p.m. on Saturday. I think it's an hour long show on U2, it looks good from the commercials

Had they officially announced any?

Man, it must be really serious. I hope whoever it is gets better soon.

They said it wasn't due to illness.

Henrietta · Post by **Henrietta** » 1/6/2005, 5:12 pm

Either they changed that, or I am dumb.

Cass according the the *offical site* it is due to routing ...

They have said over ane over they were still in the process of routing the tour.. Here is what was said on the site..

Happy New Year to all U2.com members.. With the new year comes more info on the tour announcement.. Rest assured that we will be letting you know all the details and dates soon. According to Paul Mcguiness, U2's ,manager..

We'ver postponed the announcement of the tour because of routing is still being worked out.. As soon as everytihg is confirmed we we'll let you know..

Then it mentions about other things you can see on line at the site.. I wouldn't worry about it.. I mean a 10 month tour takes lots of planning to due, plus with all that has happened over the last few weeks with the Tsumani and stuff there are more things to take care of..as far as palying goes..

They also put up some things to see from U2 show. I really want to get this book. Hopefully someone will get it for me for my birthday... :mrgreen:
