Well if the following is true, and it’s purported to be so by America’s oldest continuously published newspaper, then you know what I’m doing Thursday night: Total Georgie Annihilation.
Blackout Thursday!!
Professors have reportedly been told by the administration to cancel morning classes “for security reasons.” The band is expected to play at Fordham after appearing on “Good Morning America.”
Thanks Daddy Mac, I’ll add a third night to my weekend any way I can get it.
All in the name of “Fordham 2016: The Dream That Never Got Off The Ground.” Man, now that the words out that Fordham is the type of school where U2 plays suprise gigs for Good Morning, America, I’m sure applications will shoot through the roof.
Look out Notre Dame, here we come. We got Bono!

P.S. Oh, and not to toot our own horn or anything, but:
Fordham’s newspaper, The Paper, has also confirmed the news, noting the band will play on the steps of the university’s famous Keating Hall.
That’s right. The fine folks at the Consequence of Sound know where the best place on the internet is to get the latest Fordham news and gossip (and a healthy dosage of opinion) — right here at the paper.
Stay tuned for the latest updates, as we continue to break: “Bono at the Gates: The Latest Publicity Stunt by the Attention Grabbing Whores Who Run This School Surprise Concert Venue.”
Oh give me a home/where the buffalo roam/where the deer and the antelope play
Packed in like a sardine
Either Bloomberg is off his rocker, or he just wants more street space for his rocker.
Remember way back circa last summer when the first intimations of Bloomberg’s plan to fix NYC traffic problems made themselves known with the deletion of two lanes and the addition of an awkwardly placed pedestrian hazard in Times square? Well apparently Bloomberg hasn’t even started yet. He wants—and is very close to getting the thumbs up for—the entire annihilation of Times Square traffic. How will he do this, you ask? He’ll take out the roads, by jove! Why, without roads, them auto-ve-hi-cules caint stand a chance!
This is real life. Yes, it will be like this forever. No, it’s not just the medicine. Times Square will be a sandbox. Somebody call up Brian Wilson and tell him he can finally write another hit album without having to be hermetic—because it’s elementary school recess in the fuckin middle of New York City. (more…)

They said it couldn’t be done, but we showed them. With a few hushed words to the man upstairs via noted theologian Fr. Joseph McShane, our beloved Edward’s Parade will host the hottest Radiohead cover band from their side of the Prime Meridian. Verified by the paper’s “deep throat” at Interscope Records, the dad-rock troupe will take to whatever performance platform they will be taking to (read: probably Keating steps) succeeding their appearance on Good Morning, America. So get out your most obnoxious pair of sunglasses and dust off that old copy of Joshua Tree you have laying around Fordham, because next Friday we are all Bono.
Turns out that Bono and the Jesuits have been tight for ages. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

What do people who work hand in hand with Mexican drug cartels look like? This guy.
What does their advice sound like?
“If you got pulled over [at the border], two [Kalashnikov-style assault weapons] is no biggie,” Mr. Iknadosian is quoted as saying in the transcript. “Four is a question. Fifteen is, ‘What are you doing?’ ”
When is the nonsense ever gonna end? Who knows.

There has been an absurd rumor that popular Irish comedy-rock troupe u2 will be playing a surprise show on Fordham’s own beloved Edward’s parade Friday. You have to be either insane or possess an IQ 25 points below “dullard” to believe this crock.
On the other hand, if u2 does perform, nay, if I even see that futuristic douchey Irishman on campus, I will eat my shoe in front of a camera on paper-view.
This is pretty much Bill Donahue’s SMiLE, thank the lord this shit finally saw the light of day.
How’d they get a live horse in the Bathgate house for that shit? Crazy shit, Mr. Donahue… Crazy like genius.

TOM BROKAW IS THE COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER!
That’s right kids you heard it here first at the paper’s blog, former NBC anchor and chronicler of the Greatest Generation, Tom Brokaw, will be taking a break from his busy schedule to get a butt load of money from Fordham and speak to us, the Lousiest Generation.
Here he is saying the word “cunt” on the air:
