N.C. Central University will host an academic conference examining the global reach of U2 this fall.
The event runs Oct. 2-4, coinciding with the Irish rock band's Oct. 3 tour date at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh.
Though a university press release trumpeting the event advertises that U2 will "host" the conference, it isn't clear whether the band will even make an appearance. According to event's website, the conference will feature music journalists and others who have worked with the band.
The conference is titled "U2: The Hype and the Feedback."
"TThis will be the place to meet and hear people long connected to U2 and to covering their career," said the event's organizer, Scott Calhoun, who, according to the website, is an English professor and "U2 academician."
I haven't been able to reach Calhoun for clarification on the band's level of participation in the conference. Check back for updates.

Why Not Public Enemy?
Wed, 07/22/2009 - 06:54 — minpaulNo diss meant to NCCU or U2 as Bono is known for his humanitarian work but you would think that a historically black college would hold an academic conference on a political Hip Hop group like Public Enemy. The group had a major impact on a whole generation of African Americans.
While many people discuss the negative aspects of Hip Hop, few look seriously at the genre's political side.
I guess even 20 years after the fact the era of political Hip Hop is still too hot a subject to touch.
Oh well, I guess a Public Enemy conference at NCCU has about the same chance as my political Hip hop column does appearing in the N@O...

Thank God, NCCU does not produce students like that!

Maybe Proud NCCU graduate Crystal Mangum can "participate"

Shows the Nobel quality of the faculty.
Maybe Proud NCCU graduate Crystal Man-gum can exotic dance at the "conference"
