U 2: The ,llmpaSid_c,
by A Thomas Mamaux
Collegian Staff Writer
A while ago U 2 released `The
Joshua Tree' and it was highly suc
cessful as we know. It had the hit
singles 'With or Without You', 'I
Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For', and 'Where The
Streets Have Have No Name'. On
the other side of the singles they
had songs which you could not get
anywhere else. U 2 had written over
30 songs and these are a few that
didn't make the album. They are
also a peak at what U 2 will evolve
to; which is a way from the main
stream again.
The B-Side of 'Where The
Streets Have No Name' contains
three songs; 'Race Against Time',
`Silver and Gold', and 'The

It's 2:45 AM, and I've been driv
ing for hours. My feet tingle, my
legs ache, my ears ring yet my heart
still pounds. Tonight I experienced
crowded streets, tall buildings, anx
ious people scrambling around,
wheeling and dealing on street cor
ners and running out of time.
Tonight I saw masses gather,
crowds of all types of people, large,
small; black, white, yellow, red;
rich, poor; young and old. Tonight
I felt feelings I've never felt before.
The air was cold, my cheeks felt
numb. I had the chills yet I was fill
ed with a warmth I've never ex
perienced before. I felt like I loved
everybody I've ever loved before
more than I have ever loved them. I

note from another
place of mine
perhaps you weren't there
to excuse my leaving
well it is without remorse
that i dream your tears
a decided fate
and an insistent desire
lucid and forever
demanding no threads of reconciliation
from your collapsing web of hope
so let my mournings touch you
for this time is without mercy
you set aside all peace
until the dream
and to those of you
who cannot forget
remember...
there is a beauty in the fear
so be this life refusal

Sweetest Thing'.
Race Against Time-this song
must have been written by The
Edge. The song sounds as if it was
on his solo album 'Heroine'. It has
only 3 words (Race Against Time)
and has an African-jazz sound.
Silver and Gold- originally is off of
The Aparhteid album. Bono did
the song a capella and the song was
more of desperate call. Now it is a
song that rocks with passion and
presence. Redone is has U 2 flair
backed by Larry Mullen Jr's
drumming.
The Sweetest Thing is probably
the most un-U2 song they've done.
It is a sweet love ballad that is very
different. The difference makes it
better! The song is full of in
nocence and love. "Baby's got blue
skies up ahead, in this I'm a
felt a need to let out the loudest
scream of compassion that was
building inside of me. All my wor
ries disappeared, life felt so full, so
worth living. Tonight I lost all my
feelings of greed, hate, selfishness,
and jealousy. Tonight I was filled
with cryes of concern for others. I
realized that life isn't something
you should take for granted or
somthing you should just throw
away. I realized that nothing in life
is greater than life itself. Tonight I
felt an energy like none I've ever
felt brfore. I felt it build inside of
me and all around me and explode
into the starlit sky above. Tpnight I
felt the feelings of people drawn
from all areas of the east coast pull
ed together by a mediator and then
spit out so that everyone could ex
perience it at once. Tonight...l saw

raincloud. You know I got black
eyes but they burn so brightly for
her." This song can only be com
pared to 'Love Comes Tumbling
Down' and 'Three Suns Also Rise'
off of the "Wide Awake In
America" album.
On the flip side of 'With or
Without You' there is 'Luminous
Times (Hold on to Love)' and
`Walk to the Water'.
Luminous Times is the desperate
plea of man desperately in love
with a woman (we hope). U 2 is now
using the piano more often to
soften the song. This is heard on
such songs as: 'The Sweetest
Thing', 'Deep in the Heart', and
`Running to Stand Still'.
Walk to the Water- Bono walks

until he lets go with all he has. The

Jackman, Jokes Around
Maybe you have seen him on TV
(Nightlife with David Brenner or
CNN's 'Take Two'), but you have
not seen him til you have seen him
live. On Wednesday, October 21st,
Edward Jackman appeared in the
Wintergreen Cafe at 8 PM.
After just one year in the circuit,
he was voted the "Campus Com
edy Entertainer of the Year" by
students and staff at over 1000 col
leges throughout the nation and
Canada. The previous winner was
none other than Rodney Danger
field. Ed Jackman is also the only
two-time International Juggling
Champion. In two and a half years,
he performed at over 300 cam
puses. He is a favorite headliner on
some of the most luxurious cruise
ships and comedy and night clubs
in the nation. He has . apperareon
PM Magazine, Mery Griffin,
Games People Play, and many
local shows. Next month you will
be able to catch him on the "Dolly
Parton Show".
Jackman began his show by ,tet
ing a few dog jokes to break the
ice. He then announced that he
would be doing some magic tricks.
He picked up some rings and
magically made one ring reappear
on the other side of the group — of
rings. Everyone was quite impress
ed, until he repeated the trick in
slow motion. The ring was made
out of a flexible plastic, therefore it
was able to bend through the other
rings.
Jackman told the audience that
he used to sit behind Mitch
Gaylord in Physics. Gaylord had

song seems more like a poem: "I'm
in your doorwayl'm in your
rooml'm on the outside Lit me in-
Let me love you."
The last single is `I Still Haven't
Found What I'm Looking For". It
contains the two songs 'Spanish
Eyes' and 'Deep in the Heart'.
Spanish Eyes is probably the on
ly B-side single that could fit into
the theme of the "Joshua Tree". It
has the distinct U 2 sound filled by
Edge's guitar and Bono's voice. It
has a faster beat than most U 2
songs off of "Joshua Tree".
Deep in the Heart is a slow song
that gently rhymes to give the song
a hypnoti effect. This song lets
emotion slip out of Bono's voice
clearly.
If any of these songs had ap
peared on "Joshua .Tree" they
gone from being in the olympics to
being in the "Hollywood
Squares". While explaining that he
was going to do some olympic jug
gling with five rings, Jackman tells
the audience that he is a very good
juggler. When the juggling had
stopped, the rings had formed the
olympic symbol.
After juggling an assortment of
would seem out of place. Don't call
U 2 capitalist pigs byt the idea relas
ing B-sides was to market the
singles (make them sell). U 2 wrote
over 30 songs for "Joshua Tree"
but it is better that they didn't
release a double album. U 2 could
have released another album like
`Wide Awake In America' or
`Pride'. These albums both had on- -
ly 4 songs on the album. If you are
a U 2 fan you should get them
because you will not be able to for
very long. Including the A-sides,
there are a total of nine songs on
the three singles. Economically you
could get the three singles for less
than the album. The singles are
how U 2 is probably going to evolve
because Bono and Edge are now
listening to country and soul music.
Get a taste of the future! .
M.B. helps out Edward Jackman
boxes, balls; and a Rubic's cub, he
imitated a seal by balancing a ten
nis ball on his forehead and bounc
ing it back and forth from his head
to his face and the back of his neck.
This surprising entertainer then
pulled an even more surprised au
dience member onto the stage.
"The Amazing Mr.B"(as Jackman
called MB) spun a ball on both
fingers as he rotated a hoop around
his leg!
Jackman then introduced in
struments known as Chinese devil
sticks which are used for juggling
or as substitutes for drumsticks.
While juggling, he created some in
teresting music' by playing some
familiar songs with the sticks. As
he continued juggling balls he led
the audience in a chant of
"Oh...Awe...Eee". - The en
thusiagtic audience eagerly
repeated Jackman as he
performed.
He decided to attempt juggling a
eatures
bowling ball, a machete, and an ap
ple. With this notion, he then mov
ed down to the floor needing more
room. Once on the floor, Jackman
took notice to P.J. Brown's blown
out candle. He .accused her of
blowing it out so he wouldn't see
her while he was juggling the knife.
Towards the end, Adam Kovitz
volunteered to learn how to juggle
three balls. Jackman gave him
some tips to remember and soon
Kovitz succeeded. The two of them
juggled together with some in
teresting additions to the show.
For the grand finale, Jackman
balanced a bike on his forehead
while juggling three tennis rackets.
Everyone banged their hands on
the tables to create an imitation
drum roll." Edward's one man
show, 'Comedy...and other
dangerous stuff' is a largely im
provisational comedy show filled
with stuff you won't believe," says
Edward Jackman's press release.
