What?
I’ve never been much of a fan, so this affects me about as much as a change in the start of the soccer season, which is to say not at all. I think Rob has a bit more appreciation for their musical stylings, so he’s free to weigh in and tell me I’m a tasteless clod if he likes. (It wouldn’t be the first time.)
But didn’t Bono kinda sorta embrace W. a few years back for his work against AIDS in Africa? Even weathering some heat from his fellow leftists for daring to admit their bogeyman of the day just might be a decent human being? That seems hard to square with this, but I guess Bush Derangement Syndrome had nothing on TDS. A guy who calls himself The Edge for some reason explains to Obama’s favorite media outlet, Rolling Stone:
Or they are stoned all of the time and have gotten too lazy to practice.
Sorry. Who cares?
Boy,that’ll show ‘em!
They didn't make a nickel.
I thought I’d get sick of winning so much, but it hasn’t happened yet!
MAGA!!!!
That’s the ticket. Refuse to release an album you could make money on.
That’ll show him (Trump).
Does becoming a democrat destroy brain cells like drinking does? Cause an awful lot of them are REALLY, REALLY dumb.
This affects me about as much as the price of rice in China. Maybe less.
It’s a blow, but I’m sure we’ll soldier on somehow.
Me too. I liked them back in the day, but who would’ve thought they would last this long. They certainly won the musician’s life lottery.
Any drunk person who picks up a Fender Stratocaster is immediately a better guitarist than U2’s “The Edge”...
Songs of Innocence was a book of poetry by the legendary poet, illustrator, and mystic William Blake. (Tiger, Tiger, burning Bright).
It is astoundingly and earth-shakingly presumptuous, fatuous, and pompous of Bono to usurp this title for his own pusillanimous work.
And I USED to be a U2 fan.
“Astounds me that such a mediocre band has such a following.”
They may one day attain mediocrity, but not likely. They suck.
The next generation’s Grateful Dead. They never attained even mediocrity IMO.
Lyrics assumed Hillary win. Too late to change.. just saying.....
What’s an Irish seven course meal?
And I was SO looking forward to this album....
Whatever are we to do?
U who?
