@bradleymorgan.bsky.social, your book on Zappa sounds fascinating!

Stopped by @roscoebooks.bsky.social to sign copies of my new U2 book! I’m incredibly appreciative of their support! Support your local bookseller!

@bradleymorgan.bsky.social I finally received this! Trump's tariff war makes ordering books complicated.

Achtung! Received a copy of the German edition of my new U2 book! Danke, Delius Klasing Verlag!

@bradleymorgan.bsky.social own words and voice. Spot on and well done. Attended The Mother's Brussels, Belgium on January 28, 1977. His genius authentically expressed. As an owner of several original pressings, including Joe's Garage, I appreciate this analysis. Spot on! Phi Zappa Crappa.

Thanks to Marion McCullen for this write-up about my new U2 book in the Cambridge News! It was also reprinted in several other regional UK dailies such as the Huddersfield Examiner, Burton Mail, Teesside Gazette, & the Nottingham Post.

Made a tv stand from scratch!

Thank you to Latoya Johnson for interviewing me on my new U2 book for @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social! After nearly four years interviewing for them myself, it’s always a blast to be on the other side of the mic with such a great team! Check it out here or elsewhere. newbooksnetwork.com/u2

Went into the @criterion.bsky.social closet repping my patron saint of bad taste.

Bradley Morgan’s new book ‘Frank Zappa’s America’ dives into how Zappa used music to challenge power, defend free speech, and confront extremism. A bold look at an artist who never stopped speaking truth. zurl.co/mS5JS

For anyone interested in more FZ from the 80s, this book by @bradleymorgan.bsky.social is a great read.

Many thanks to @unabridgedbooks.bsky.social for the opportunity to come sign some copies of “U2: Until the End of the World!”

Today is the pub day for my third book, “U2: Until the End of the World,” profiling the 50 year journey of the band from their humble beginnings in Dublin to becoming a global rock phenomenon! Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout writing it!

The efficiency of Bradley Morgan’s 'U2 Until The End of the World' belies its heft with a fairly thorough chronicle of the mega-successful Irish band’s history, without any overt agenda or slanted editorializing. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/318296/u2-un...

Thanks to @glidemag.bsky.social for this review of my new U2 book on the eve of its publishing. “Bradley Morgan certifies his scholarship…those academic touches ratify this title as a ‘coffee table book’ that transcends any pejorative in that descriptive phrase.” glidemagazine.com/318296/u2-un...

Had a great time talking with Eric of the Booked On Rock podcast about my new book on U2’s 50th anniversary. We cover in the chat some major highlights throughout their career, as well as some lesser known stories about the band. Check it out here! “U2: Until the End of the World” publishes Oct 7

Thanks so much to Nenad Georgievski of the Vintage Cafe substack for this great first review of my new U2 book! “In an age where legacy acts are often embalmed in myth, this book allows for something looser and truer." Check it out here: nenadgeorgievski.substack.com/p/u2-until-t...

We are excited to be joined by Bradley for our U2 episode and hear about his latest book. Coming soon!

Today marks 49 years since U2 first played together in Larry’s kitchen, & I feel so much gratitude for all the music & memories over the years. 25 years ago when I bought my first U2 Cd at 13, “All That You Can’t Leave Behind,” I never would have guessed where my journey with the band would take me.

🧵Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Senate hearings where Frank Zappa, Dee Snider, and John Denver delivered their testimony against the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) over their proposal to put warning labels on albums. (1/3)

I remember watching clips of these hearings a kid. ( fucking tipper gore) Almost NO musicians would stand up and testify because the labels didn’t want them to. Censorship then censorship now Zappa, Denver & @deesnider.bsky.social 🫶💙

If you've never seen the PMRC testimony, it's worth watching on YouTube, especially now.

Really great piece from @ihavethatonvinyl.com illustrating the beauty of staying curious and being open to rediscovery! I may be biased, but there has never been a better time than now to crank some Frank!

My latest @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social interview is out! Talked with @jamescampion.bsky.social about his new book chronicling the evolution of Prince’s band, “Revolution: Prince, the Band, the Era” (Backbeat, 2025). Check it out here or wherever you get podcasts: newbooksnetwork.com/revolution

Say whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want.

New book out on Zappa! I remember the PMRC. I was a young teenager when all that was going down - I think it was my intro to Frank. A stand up American and a warrior for the freedom of speech. #FrankZappa #BradleyMorgan #MusicSky #BookSky

The musician was known as much for his scathing takes on social issues as for his fusion-driven, signature rock 'n' roll style.

Thank you so much to Cory Frye of @phoenixnewtimes.com for this amazing article on my book on Frank Zappa, and which really dives into the inherent progressivism of the mustachioed maestro's work that I sought to capture. "Frank Zappa's America" is available now from @lsupress.bsky.social!

How can an article on the PMRC only mention Zappa once? Anyway, you can learn more about him fighting the PMRC and fundamentalist evangelicals in my new book “Frank Zappa’s America” published by @lsupress.bsky.social! lsupress.org/978080718392...

Thank you @bradleymorgan.bsky.social for the interview about my book, 'Down on the Corner: Adventures inBusking & Street Music,' on the New Books Network

They’re finally here! “U2: Until the End of the World,” a celebration of 50 years of U2! Publishes October 7 by @geminibooks.bsky.social!

PSA, @bradleymorgan.bsky.social's book 'Frank Zappa's America' is -really fucking good-.

Check out my co-host @helionovell.bsky.social ‘s interview with the author of Frank Zappa’s America, talking about Frank, musician social commentary, and America in a previous moment of fashy stupidity.

I have ordered the book "Frank Zappa's America" by ‪@bradleymorgan.bsky.social‬ (a sadly unbridged account)

Bradley Morgan’s book ‘Frank Zappa’s America’ explores Zappa’s satire, politics, and free speech battles, from PMRC hearings to his fearless critiques of power. zurl.co/kyIWA
