Bono: U2 Delayed Album Because Trump Disrupted the ‘Moral Arc of the Universe’

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.”

My job takes me to N. Ireland from time to time.

Even the local are tired of Bono and U2.

Bono is a bonehead. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, kim jong pigs, Pol Pot, Chavez and even 0bama are the ones that have deflected the arc from good toward evil. Bono probably hates this since he probably believes evil is good and down is up like most leftists.

U2 concert in St Louis cancelled out of safety concerns/ race riot
(Where the Streets Have No Name)

Where the band has no show
Where the band has no show
They’re still burning and looting the town
Looting the town
And when they do this they’ll do it to you
It’s all they can do

As a Music producer, I must say:

“That’s a New Excuse!”

Can’t say as I’ve heard THAT one before! :-(

Trump distorted the “moral arc of the universe”? Yet, there are none more immoral than people in bands like U2, and leftists in general.

Bono lives in an alternate universe, where right is wrong and wrong is right.

Because Hitlery Rotten Clinton and her undeclared war (crime murder) on Momar Gaddafi (from within our Libyan embassy) was such a “godsend”.

All depends on which bully you want in your corner, I guess.

It has been a few years, since I was there, but in Dublin (where they are from) the garage where they first practiced is on almost every tour.

No, dumbass, it was the United States that kept that peace. The EU couldn't muster enough military might for a decent pillow fight.

So Bono and the boys are gonna tell Trump off. And get richer doing it. If you could can smug, they'd sell a tanker full.

Yup, Bono is right over there in the six sigma to the left of the Bell Curve average.
Stick to your mediocre music, dumbass.
