After twenty two U2 tussles on Twitter with folk who hate them out of principle, @u2’s Zooropa is the album of the weekend: futuristic. Ironic. Unhinged.
According to McGee retweeted
With a sense of appreciation for their own longevity, U2 return with their first new album in nearly a decade to ask: What if rock’n’roll is the friends we made along the way?

“You have to up your game when people step into the room like @fontainesdublin"
@U2's Bono and The Edge sit down with NME to talk us through the secret to survival after 50 years, the “defiant joy” of new album ‘Carnaval de Luz’, America finally "waking up", and how their love of @geesebandnyc, @wolfalicemusic and Lambrini Girls keeps them on their toes nme.com/news/music/u2-interv…

Booker prize winner 2026, M John Harrison told me on @BBCNewshour that early drafts of his prize winning book, The End of Everything, spent years in a drawer, before he returned to it again. He shared this advice to aspiring writers. @TheBookerPrizes.

I do not trust anyone who rates MOONRAKER as trash. If you hate fun that's fine, you have the right to, but not all Bond flicks need to be serious.

Inspiring to note that not only is M.John Harrison the first science fiction author to win the Booker Prize (just announced), but in his fifty years in publishing he has had seven different UK publishers - they change over time, but his vision has remained constant.
According to McGee retweeted
Congratulations to M.John Harrison for winning the Booker Prize tonight. I was introduced to his fiction by China Mieville's comments on his work. This is powerful, imaginative speculative fiction. Well deserved.

Over a thousand pages and long before the printing press. Who was he writing for?
