Bono: U2 Delayed Album Because Trump Disrupted the ‘Moral Arc of the Universe’
Breitbart ^ | 9/20/17 | Jerome Hudson

U2 frontman Bono unloaded on President Donald Trump in a Rolling Stone interview published Wednesday, revealing that his Irish rock band’s new album will take on the “bully on the bully pulpit” because “silence is not an option.”

In January, U2 founding guitarist The Edge revealed that “Songs of Experience,” the band’s follow-up to its platinum-selling 2014 album “Songs of Innocence,” was delayed because of Trump’s election. Now Bono says “there’s a couple of reasons why we delayed Songs of Experience. One personal, one political.”

“The world around us was certainly changing out of all recognition, we nearly lost the European Union, something that has helped keep the peace in our region for nearly 70 years,” Bono told Rolling Stone

I am glad Bono is on the good side of things when he moved the address of his production company from the USA to the Netherlands to dodge taxes...

I have always hated U2. Imagine my surprise when their latest album appeared in my iTunes. I never ordered it, never paid for it. I suspect this is how the band/record label is able to inflate sales numbers.

I remember when their first few albums came out. Great stuff. Now after reading this crap ... I am gonna just move on. I wish these snowflake stars would just focus on their work and shut up about politics.

Bono: 'We are delaying our new album because we aren't that talented.'

I’m 63 and discovered U2 when their Rosebowl BlueRay came out. They have two songs I like: Vertigo and another (I forget the name).

The rest, meh. I tried to like them, but like Rush, I just could not get into it.

Their stage and light show is AMAZING, though. It’s why I bought the BlueRay.

I’ve begun to realize that when people complain about Trump, they project their own personal failings onto him. That means Bono is a manipulator and a player.
I’m very sorry to hear this BS from Bono. I really like U2, but refuse to listen to or buy their music any longer.

I presume the interview was done before the concert was cancelled. Glad he got to see what he’s promoting.
