About Me

I have a blog called "The Rhetorical Journey". A friend of mine, Roger, asked me "why do you call the blog The Rhetorical Journey?".

I am a fan of U2. I have been since I was 10 years old. On the album "Rattle and Hum" there is a recording of an interview between a journalist and Bono and The Edge of U2. The journalist asks them "what are you doing?" and The Edge replies, with laughter, "We are on a Rhetorical Journey".

I didn't know what Rhetorical meant, but it sounded like a cool thing. To me a Rhetorical Journey is a journey searching for meaning and purpose; a desire to travel, to experience to see and feel and experience all that life has to offer. I have always thought that U2 is one of the few musical groups who completely reinvent themselves every 5-6 years. They travel, they seek new inspiration, they seek new answers. No album is ever a simple repeat of what worked in the previous album.
