Video of The Day | Throwback Thursday Edition: U2

Share this post

Happy birthday to Bono. U2‘s vocalist turns 53 today. We’re commemorating the occasion with “11 O’Clock Tick Tock.” It was released in 1980 as the Irish band’s second single and was later made more famous by the the inclusion of a live version on the 1984 EP Under a Blood Red Sky: Live at Red Rocks.

U2 are expected to release their 13th album this year. The tentative album title  is 10 Reasons to Exist.  We can’t wait. Wishing Bono a great birthday and many more!

Pat Ferrise grew up loving ”the punk rock” and “new wave.” His years at one of the nation’s top college radio stations ultimately led him to a 15-year run as music director of alternative music icon WHFS Washington/Baltimore. Rolling Stone magazine named him of the most influential programmers of the 90s. He’s recorded two albums under the moniker Trampoline for the now defunct SpinArt label. He lives in Baltimore and takes no credit for writing this bio.
