U2 now not releasing its new album because of Donald Trump

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:

I thought they were some foreign band. Why would they be worried about Trump?

Maybe they’ve just realized how sucky their album is and they just want to blame it on anybody but themselves.

Dear Bonehead

We finally have found what we were looking for.

If Boner and the Edge decide to end it all, and jump off the Cliffs of Moher into the North Atlantic, the world’s collective IQ will get a nice bump.

Donald Trump could be as liberal as Clinton, but if he keeps U2 from exposing us to any more of their crap, that would be reason enough to wholeheartedly vote for him again.

Best.

Election.

Ever.

Yes. I had the same thing. It just showed up on my music list without my approval, and it had this as album art:

I was indifferent to U2 before that. Now I detest them.

Is that two guys? I remember them as a Christian band in the 80’s. How far they have fallen!

I am glad U2 reacted in the same manner to Obama/Clinton invading Libya as they did to Bush invading Iraq, ow wait...

Astounds me that such a mediocre band has such a following.

Must be the rose colored glasses - makes Bono look like Richard Gere's boyfriend and that intrigues a certain sector....

Yep. Two guys. Well, I guess I could be wrong, depending on how they “self-identify”...

Sort of like the new season of Homeland with the female junior senator from NY winning the presidency. LOLOLOL.
