I just remembered how Bono had to “trick” Sheeran into appearing on a song on their Days of Ash EP. A very politically charged group of songs. Kinda checks out now.

Bono lays out how the duet came together, saying Sheeran liked the song and expressed support for Ukraine, but wanted to avoid being pulled into political arguments. Bono says he reassured him the collaboration would stay focused on the music, while acknowledging he may have been bluffing in the moment.Days Of Ash - EP by U2, released in 2026, features six rock tracks including a collaboration with Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia, available in Dolby Atmos and lossless audio.

I’m begging companies to try offering a pay more for no AI plan alongside their we have to start charging more for AI announcements and see which does better for them.

Sometimes I record these daily podcast episodes quickly and then edit quickly and I worry I said something stupid. 🤦 Or worse, left a gap in the recording to trick Harold into thinking I’ve stopped.

Having been a U2 fan forever, I think musical artists can be very public about what they stand for and against, while still being welcoming and for peace. Every tour there were always people shocked the band would “talk politics” at their concerts and in interviews.

Monday’s issues follow to Tuesday: I locked my credit card as a precaution given the hack on my kid’s Microsoft address yesterday, but Public Mobile was due to charge for my account last night and so it didn’t go through. Tuesday is the one morning I leave the house usually. Fun ensues. 😆

Today’s episode was meant to be done earlier today. Le sigh. daily.chrisenns.com/s2/287
