U2 finished its residency at the Las Vegas venue Sphere over the weekend with a tribute to first lady Jill Biden. Frontman Bono dedicated the song “All I Want Is You” from the 1988 U2 album “Rattle and Hum” to Mrs. Biden‚ who was in attendance. “This song‚ when we wrote it‚ I tried to write the lyrics from the point of view of the woman or the bride‚ in this case‚ which is pretty arrogant‚ I suppose. That was a trick for me to get to the lyric I was playing on myself‚” Bono said.  “Tonight‚ I want to dedicate it to all the great women in our lives — our partners‚ our mothers‚ our daughters‚ all the women on the U2 crew‚ all the great women in our audience that we feel we know‚ and all the great women in parts of the world going through very difficult circumstances that we could never know. And one woman in particular who is with us tonight‚ she’s a teacher. She’s your first lady‚ so this is for Jill Biden.” At another point in the show‚ Bono mentioned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny‚ which he’s been doing on stage since Navalny’s death was announced last month. NEWS: Bono announces they will break from Achtung Baby for experiment: Next song will be recorded as they perform new rendition of Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream it’s Over” thanks to Neil Finn who sent in vocals so they could dedicate it to Alexei Navalny widow Yulia. For freedom! pic.twitter.com/kv0Mma41jb — Chris Gardner (@chrissgardner) March 3‚ 2024 “This is a tightly constructed show‚ but as it’s our last night‚ we wondered if it might be OK to experiment on you a little bit. The idea is to record something special to honor Alexei Navalny’s widow‚ Yulia‚ who is continuing a fight against Vladimir Putin for a free‚ free Russia‚ which is what we want for the Russian people‚” Bono said before playing “Don’t Dream It’s Over.” “The other day we got a beautiful email from Neil Finn‚ who wrote this bewildering beautiful song and he attached to the email a version of this song that he said we could play on or whatever we wanted. It’s a new version that he did‚ and we thought if we are going to record it‚ well‚ maybe if you would be on that recording and we could make that session the last night recording session and dedicating it to Yulia‚” he continued‚ calling the single “a song about freedom.” The band has played 40 shows at the visually stunning music and entertainment arena beginning in September. U2 was commemorating one of its most successful records‚ “Achtung Baby” (1991)‚ by playing the album in its entirety along with other selected tracks from the band’s catalog. During the performance‚ Bono welcomed the album’s producer‚ Daniel Lanois‚ to the stage. He also made mention of drummer Larry Mullen Jr.‚ who was in the audience but unable to play due to his recent neck surgery.  “The rumors that Larry will be playing with us tonight are not true‚ sadly. But he is here with us‚” Bono said of Mullen Jr. “That is the man who pinned the note on the notice board at Mount Temple Comprehensive School all those years ago. We are very grateful that he did‚ and that he’s here with us tonight. We wish him a speedy‚ speedy‚ speedy recovery. We love you‚ Larry Mullen Jr.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Per The Hollywood Reporter‚ other celebs in attendance at shows over the weekend included Lenny Kravitz‚ Dave Grohl‚ and Brett Ratner.

If you’ve ever loved someone with dementia‚ then you understand just how difficult it is for them and everyone they love. When it reaches the point where they’re rarely themselves‚ it makes every moment they are all the more special. A young woman named Lacey Snell understands this well. That’s why‚ when her grandpa with memory loss had a rare moment of lucidity‚ she caught it on camera. In the video‚ we can see that Lacey is crouched down next to her grandpa‚ who she calls Pop. Although we don’t see what prompts this conversation‚ we do know that Pop can’t stop telling Lacey how proud her. Grandpa With Memory Loss Shares Rare‚ Special Moment With Granddaughter @laceysnellofficial this memory >; #fyp #heartbroken ♬ what was I made for? – Instrumental – Wheeler “When your grandpa who has memory loss decides on a random Sunday he remembers you and wants to tell you something‚” Lacey shares. “I don’t know how I’m ever going to live without this man. I am who I am because of him.” During their conversation‚ Pop talks about how wonderful Lacey turned out‚ noting that she has a great mom and dad. But‚ as Lacey points out‚ there’s one very special person in her life who he didn’t mention: himself. “You’re a great Pop‚” Lacey insists. TikTok “I try to be‚” he replies with a smile. Because Lacey never knows when or if Pop remembers her again‚ she always makes an effort to truly take in special moments like these. In turn‚ she’s inspiring others to do the same. “The way you are both soaking up the moment because you both know he remembers at the current time‚” one person writes in the comment section. “If this was the last time‚” Lacey says in reply‚ “I wanted it to be the one I remembered the most.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Like Emily Dickinson‚ Taylor Swift is known for her ability to spin prose that deeply connects with others. Turns out‚ their connection to one another runs much deeper than their creativity! According to the genealogy company Ancestry‚ Swift and Dickinson are related. More specifically‚ the two of them are sixth cousins‚ three times removed. “Swift and Dickinson both descend from a 17th century English immigrant (Swift’s 9th great-grandfather and Dickinson’s 6th great-grandfather who was an early settler of Windsor‚ Connecticut)‚” Ancestry shares with TODAY. Wikimedia Commons This means that for six generations‚ Swift’s ancestors lived in Connecticut. From there‚ a part of her family moved to northwestern Pennsylvania where they joined the Swift family line. Long-time fans of Swift recognize just how incredible this connection is with many noting how many times the superstar has referenced the famous poet. “If my lyrics sound like a letter written by Emily Dickinson’s great-grandmother while sewing a lace curtain‚ that’s me writing in the Quill genre‚” Swift said in 2022 when she received the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International. Ancestry Reveals Taylor Swift and Emily Dickinson Are Related! Wikimedia Commons This isn’t where Dickinson’s influence ends — Swift’s album‚ Evermore‚ seems to be inspired by her‚ too. There are a few reasons for this‚ with the first being the release date of the album: December 10‚ 2020‚ Dickinson’s birthday. The second comes from the title of the album itself‚ as well as the song with the same name. In Dickinson’s poem‚ One Sister Have I in Our House‚ she uses the word “forevermore.” This is similar to Swift’s titles‚ of course‚ but a repeated line in the song reads‚ “That this pain would be for evermore.” When sung‚ it sounds especially close to Dickinson’s use of “forevermore.” Twitter Even before Evermore‚ Swift was making references to the 19th century poet. She says that inspiration for her Folklore album came from an idea of “this girl sleepwalking through the forest in a nightgown in 1830‚” which‚ coincidentally or not‚ is the year that Dickinson was born. As surprising as this news is to most‚ for Swift fans like myself‚ this makes perfect sense. Okay‚ so this reveal actually is still shocking‚ but it also makes so much sense. “This feels wholly unfair‚” the Emily Dickinson International Society jokingly shares on Twitter‚ “and simultaneously completely believable.” You can find the sources of this story’s featured image here and here!
