u2 played the song magnificent on letterman on tuesday (and bono + eyeliner on the cover of rolling stone)

as atu2 points out, inside the march 19 issue of rolling stone, it says that u2 will put out another album in 2010 and that it will, according to the bono "be quieter than No Line in many ways, it's that ghost album of hymns and Sufi singing. We're making a kind of heartbreaker, a meditative, reflexive piece of work, but not indulgent."

u2 played magnificent last night on letterman. bono gave a happy birthday shout out to sam o'sullivan and dave told adam "i can feel that right in my chest. tremendous!" (me, too).
