Technically, he&#8217;s right, this really isn&#8217;t a video. It&#8217;s part of a movie which happens to be all music. But this clip has my all-time favorite added U2 lyric at the end. I&#8217;ve even gone so far as to record it off of my VCR copy of <em>Rattle and Hum<\/em> to tape (no jokes about how old I am, please) so I could hear those extra couple of lines. Also, I saw <em>Rattle and Hum<\/em> in the theatre with Lana Bob! and about 5 other people. It was almost as good as going to a concert because some nice employee turned the sound up to 11 for the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>U2: New Year&#8217;s Day (1983)<\/strong><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Xih9Z7tBPU8\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Xih9Z7tBPU8\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\nAn actual video. A bad one, but still a video. This is from the 80s when someone could say, &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t it be cool to make a video in the snow? Does anyone have horses?&#8221; The best part of this video is watching Larry bang his widdle drum in the back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>U2: Vertigo (2004)<\/strong><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/SHrw6DayuLQ\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/SHrw6DayuLQ\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\nA better U2 video because they spent more than $3 on it. Also, a lovely marriage of song and video inducing said vertigo. Best line: Your love is teaching me how to kneel. Maybe that&#8217;s why I love U2 so much, they pretty much always get my theology right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m guest-hosting FNV this week.
