If U2 came to Emory ...
So it's U2Tuesday (I think that's how that marketing gimmick is spelled) in Atlanta. In just a few hours, the band will be taking the stage at the Georgia Dome as its 360° Tour rolls into our fair city.
The concert is pretty big news among my friends (as well as a lot of Emory staff members and students). Many of them are going to the show, at least if their braggy Facebook status updates are to be believed. (Full disclosure, I'm going, too, and I made sure all my Facebook friends know it ... I claim no moral high ground).
Anyway, it got me thinking. Is there a way to tell Emory's story using only U2 song titles?
Of course there is. Take a look at our collection below. Feel free to add any new ones.

Zoo Station = Zebra in Seney Hall at Oxford http://bit.ly/GVHne
ReplyDeleteVery good! Any reference to Oxford's Zebra is welcome. Also received in email: Sunday Bloody Sunday = Day before exams.
ReplyDeleteNow if anyone can figure out With Or Without You, Mysterious Ways or anything from the unrepresented Rattle and Hum album, that'd be pretty great.
