    Adam Clayton Engaged!

     

    Marriage is for U2, Adam - says Susi

    Source: Irish Independent, April 10, 2006

     

    It's official. Adam Clayton has found what he's looking for. The U2 bassist has just got engaged to long-term girlfriend Susi Smith.

     

    The dapper musician and the Canadian beauty announced their engagement to friends at a private party recently. My Deep Throat at the soiree told me that everyone was sworn to secrecy on pain of immediate exile. Well, there you go...

     

    Adam and Susi looked more in love than usual when I saw them in January at the launch of a new fragrance by the Missoni fashion label in the Italian ambassador's stately residence in Grosvenor Square, London. I now know why.

     

    The Oxfordshire-born Clayton has been of course the most colourful member of the world's biggest band for years. I love the entertaining but entirely apocryphal story about how at the time of his arrest for possession of marijuana, the guards found him sitting serenely stoned in the boot of his car up in the mountains. Though rock 'n' roll fairytale, it does show that Clayton is widely regarded as the epitome of cool. Cooler still, Adam was engaged to supermodel Naomi Campbell in 1993.

     

    Naturally, Adam is older and wiser and sober-er (he hasn't touched a drink since he missed a U2 show in Australia on November 26, 1993 -- a consequence of his break-up with Naomi, some say.) Indeed Susi and Adam are the ultimate zen couple. They were on holiday in Malaysia when the tragic tsunami hit the countries off the coast of the Indian Ocean.

    Congratulations Adam and Susie! I wish you a lifetime of happiness together. ~U2 Obsessed, AKA Marie

    MSN: What's Your Story

     

    I am in absolute shock.  I hadn't visited my site in a few days and when I checked in today, I had about 10 new comments, which really surprised me.  I couldn't understand why there was all of a sudden all this traffic on my site when I hadn't updated in 3 weeks.  Then someone congratulated me for "making MSN's list" which confused me even more.  Then I finally checked my site's stats and saw that most of the traffic was coming  from http://whatsyourstory.msn.com so I checked it out and I'M LISTED AS ONE OF THEIR FEATURE SITES THIS WEEK!!!  I almost had a heart attack! LOL...I can't believe it.  I'm so unbelievably honoured (especially since I've neglected this site for the last few weeks while I've been working on my other space)! 

     

    It's so funny because I signed on today with the intention of updating (I have enough material for about 12 new entries, which I promise I'll start on tomorrow when this shock wears off, lol...plus about 100 new pictures of the band to add to my albums) but I never got around to it because I was replying to everyone's comments.  I've  had over 5,000 hits in the last 2 days!!  I really can't  believe this lol.

     

    Thank you SO much to whoever decided to put my site on the What's Your Story page, I'm so flattered and honoured and just plain excited! lol  Thank you also to all the people who have taken the time to visit and leave comments, it's greatly appreciated, believe me.

    Remember the Dream

     

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day

     

    MLK by U2

    Sleep, sleep tonight

    And may your dreams be realized

    If the thunder cloud passes rain

    So let it rain, rain down on he

    So let it be

    So let it be

     

    Sleep, sleep tonight

    And may your dreams be realized

    If the thunder cloud passes rain

    So let it rain, let it rain

    Rain on he

    'Twas the Night Before Christmas...U2 Style ;)

     

    Lucy from U2 Graffiti Wall posted this last night and it's so great that I just wanted to share it with everyone!!  Happy Holidays! ~Marie

     

    'Twas the night before Christmas, and on The Wall's site

    U2 fans gathered to discuss and to write

    How their love for the band, with nothing compares

    And so, here's a daydream, with Holiday cares:

     

    U2 fans nestled all snug in their beds

    While visions of concerts danced in their heads;

    There's Edge with his beanie, and Bono's blue shades

    Adam with bass, and Larry's cool gaze.

     

    Out from the amps, there arose such a clatter

    Of resounding riffs from songs that matter;

    Within the ellipse, fans jump up and dash

    While the drums pound away and the bright cymbals clash.

     

    And curtains of light on the Vertigo stage

    Give luster of midday in colourful shades;

    When, what to expectant eyes should appear

    But the best band still playing, in their near-thirtieth year.

     

    The four Dubliners, from boys to men grew

    Fans knew in a moment it must be U2;

    Playing the classics, adding the new

    The setlist, still stunning; the songbook we knew:

     

    "Vertigo!" "Elevation!" to start off the show

    "Sunday Bloody Sunday" as politics go;

    Then "Streets," and of course "One," then "Pride"

    In a purely emotional, rock 'n' roll ride.

     

    Bono, dressed all in leather, dons his cowboy hat

    (Name one other person who could pull off that!)

    He holds out the mic for the crowd now to sing

    The chorus resounds beyond the elliptical ring.

     

    The lyrics--how they echo, whether indoors or out

    Whether at Slane or Live Aid or Red Rocks; just count

    All the times that the band, as 'B' likes to say

    "Lost gravity" for that moment and floated away.

     

    The sound of the music, the lyrics and words

    Are more than the show, are more than what's heard;

    The impact is broader than one concert, one date

    Which is why we all love them, and what makes them great.

     

    So with Christmas spirit, in good holiday cheer

    May we have music, joy, and love in this upcoming year;

    And be heard to exclaim, in holiday lights,

    "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

     

    New Album in my Photo Albums

    On November 14th, Bono and Edge were seen wandering in Miami; Bono, who carried a video camera claimed he was making a documentary about "a day in the life of Edge" and went around asking fans what they thought of Edge.  I came across some amazing photos taken that day by a very talented man named Danny Hammontree, who has given me permission to post the pictures on my site.  Because they're so good, I've dedicated an entire album to them and I encourage everyone to check them out!!
     
    You can also check out more of Danny's pics at Digital Grace, and you can read an article from U2.com that I posted in November about the Bono and Edge sighting here
     

    Happy Birthday Larry!!

    A very happy 44th birthday to the world's best drummer, Mr. Larry Mullen Jr. This is the first time since the tours of the 80s that U2 hasn't played a concert on Larry's birthday, but U2 will be in LA tomorrow night so I'm sure there will be about 20,000 belated birthday wishes from his adoring fans! Happy birthday Larry, hope today is a special one for you with many more to come!
