Fes, Morocco

Having thought that Luxor was the capital of the hassle during this trip, the imperial city of Fes proved to be worse. While the Kairaouine Mosque and the Medersa Bou Inania were impressive given their historical significance, the constant pressure from shopkeepers and faux-guides ruined the latent magnificence of the world’s oldest existing Islamic medieval city. On a brighter note, U2 had filmed ‘Mysterious Ways’ in the ‘new’-Old City of Fes, as well as recently recorded there for their upcoming 2008 album. Despite my poor sentiments of Fes, I did enjoy the company of Barbie, Saqib, and Assad whom I met in Chefchaouen, and are all from California.

    #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree open #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree opener in Auckland, New Zealand was 3 years ago today.

I’m really enjoying Bono’s autobiography #SurrenderMemoir. Incredible perspectives of his upbringing and influences in Dublin.

Last image on this post has a snippet of an IEM recording I took from the Auckland rehearsal on November 3, 2019. New Zealand in a way is In God’s Country.

This song (and album) is the soundtrack to my 2008 summer backpack travels in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel (Jerusalem, of course).

Got a GA ticket for this show - nice to be back after 3 years to be on the floor and on the rail. Was able to get my camera in for these photos.
