Brian Eno on innovation and creation

My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to, not because I wanted a job as a musician. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist. It's like having a ready-made formula if you are able to read it. One of the innovations of ambient music was leaving out the idea that there should be melody or words or a beat… so in a way that was music designed by leaving things out – that can be a form of innovation, knowing what to leave out. All the signs were in the air all around with ambient music in the mid 1970s, and other people were doing a similar thing. I just gave it a name.

Thanks to @russu for the linkie!

U2 Chicago

The show was pretty good, the stage was spectacular (I can believe the tour's carbon footprint is enough to send the band to Mars and back).
 
The near riot at the North Gate of Soldier's Field when 50k people tried jamming through a space in the gate about as large as your front door, not so great. The drunks trampling the indigenous species gardens? Not so great. I think u2 jumped the shark for me Saturday night.
