It’s U2’s Week (and we just live in it)

U2 won’t announce details about their upcoming tour until next week, but the band’s press machine is already going full-throttle, putting pedal to the metal as it spreads the word to all corners of the globe.

You wanna see the band? Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. are performing on “Late Show with David Letterman” all this week. That is, when they’re not shoveling snow.

You wanna drive on a street with U2’s name? New York City is the place to be. Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn presented the band with “U2 Way” street signs. The new moniker is a temporary name for part of Manhattan’s West 53rd Street. Evidently “U2 Way” is “ … south of Duke Ellington Boulevard and north of Joey Ramone Place” according to the band’s Web site.

Of course, the band’s new album – No Line On The Horizon – drops today wherever fine music (and refrigerators, TVs and jumbo boxes of Frosted Flakes) are sold.
