The Edge didn’t find what he was looking for – The Edge

Stuck in a moment (see what I did there, U2 fans) of wistfulness, The Edge fell off the stage last night.

But other than being roughed up a bit, he seems OK.

100 Years of Beauty

If you had a crystal ball and could gaze into the future, how would you feel seeing the love of your life as a 90-year-old? Cut offered a young couple about to say their vows the unique chance to do just that by aging them over 60 years with incredibly life-like makeup and prosthetics. We dare you not to tear up as they fall in love again and again.

Bag of Randomness for Friday, May 15, 2015

  • Oh, how I wish I could have been in Vancouver last night as U2 opened their new tour.  But it was fun checking updates on Twitter and Periscope from various people at the concert.  I don’t want to spoil anything for fans that plan on attending any of the concerts, but I did think the imagery described in this tweet was pretty cool.  And here’s a short clip of some amazing visuals during the show.
  • But he still lags in the target demographic – David Letterman Ratings: Bags Bigger Crowd Than Jimmy Fallon As Exit Nears.  Last night George Clooney handcuffed him to Dave for the entire show, trying to keep him from leaving, and even threw the keys into the audience.  It was actually a funny bit when the second guest came out and Clooney had to sit on a stool.
  • It’s only fitting that Bill Murray will be Letterman’s last guest.  He was only Dave’s first guest on all three of his shows and the last guest on his NBC show.  But it does stink that Dave and Jay couldn’t have patched things up to the point they were willing to be on each other’s show.
  • Robin Williams was Carson’s last male guest, and I would like to think he would have been one of Dave’s final three.  While I was verifying that Williams/Carson fact, I found this half-year-old article which surprised me – New Book Reveals Johnny Carson’s Least Favorite Tonight Show Guest: Bob Hope
  • ‘The Daily Show’ will be off next week, but Jon Stewart gave a heartfelt speech about what Letterman has meant to him.   Stewart used to have a show on MTV and actually announced the cancellation on Dave’s show.  Two weeks later, Stewart’s final show aired with Dave as the guest, and you can watch the entire show here.  Last night Stewart mentioned that Dave told him not to confuse cancellation with failure, which really stuck with him.
  • A lot of you local folks may not watch ‘The Amazing Race’ regularly, but since the season finale will focus on DFW, it might be worth watching tonight.
  • The part that made me literally laugh-out-loud – “She stored his contact information in her phone as “Frank Underwood” – The Missouri Speaker of the House Is Sexting With His Intern
  • I’ve enjoyed celebrity week on ‘Jeopardy!’ for the past several days but sometimes it comes too close to the SNL skit.  But to my surprise, it’s followed by ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ which is hosted by Terry Crews.  Many will know Crews from the movie Idiocracy in which he played U.S. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.  Even though he’s been in plenty of films, I always think of his Office Linebacker commercials, especially when he says, “Hey, Janice.”
  • Four towns on I-45 south of Dallas rank high for speeding tickets
  • This is the first fully warm-blooded fish
  • Hopes&Fears asked a friend to make all of his decisions based on a flip of a coin for a day. This is his story.
  • Buzzfeed – Which Disney Couple Are You And Your Significant Other?
  • 34 Percent of NBA Fans Think Michael Jordan Could Beat LeBron James 1-on-1 Today
  • Tony Romo is now on Twitter.  His first tweet was simply his jersey number.
