Celebrating 30 years since the Joshua Tree came out has brought a ton of nostalgic remembrances, plus new antics from the Irish lads who see music as sacrosanct and have a healthy stream of humanitarian efforts under their belts along with their ever evolving music.

In DC this past June 20-21, U2 understandably sent out prayers and well-wishes to injured parties attending the congressional baseball game practice, then gave an amazing performance. Most of the songs were from The Joshua Tree, of course, and memories of earlier tours have made the rounds. So much has happened since the 1987 seminal album crashed-landed onto our collective conscience, though in many ways the world has revolved nearly full circle.

Remembering the time Bono and U2 ordered 10,000 pizzas onstage in Detroit

During the ZooTV tour, Bono decided to infuse a bit of “rock ‘n roll” in the midst of all the dance music acts (it was 1992) by ordering pizza for his fans during a U2 concert held at Detroit’s Palace of Auburn Hills.

Just recently they were seen at famous NYC pizza joint Famous Ray’s Pizza grabbing some pies. Bono, The Edge, and Adam Clayton were in NYC after performing a show in Orchard Park, NY. They’ve been on a Joshua Tree tour commemorating their precocious, #woke before #woke 1987 album.

It’s not the first time, either. Their 360 tour in 2010 had them getting pizza for fans. This tidbit includes Larry Mullen, Jr., who wasn’t with them at Ray’s the other night.

More important than pizza (whuuuut?) Yes. More important than pizza is the work guitarist The Edge has been doing to promote healthy eating as preventative and healing aids alongside approved methods of fighting disease. His interest in food as medicine began with the diagnosis and treatment of his daughter’s childhood leukemia.

The Washington Post interviewed The Edge and Dr. William Li about research into the role that certain foods may play in angiogenesis. It goes beyond an apple a day, to be sure.
