U2 releases Renee Good tribute song 'American Obituary'
"These songs were impatient to be out in the world," singer Bono said of the band's surprise new EP, "Days of Ash."
Irish rockers U2 became the latest high-powered musical act to condemn the federal immigration raids with the surprise release Wednesday of a six-track EP that kicks off with a song for slain Minneapolis protester Renée Good.
Following in the footsteps of Bruce Springsteen, Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish and other artists, U2 recorded “American Obituary,” a four-minute plus musical condemnation of the crackdown that left the mother of three dead on Jan. 7.
"Renee Good, born to die free. American mother of three. Seventh day, January. A bullet for each child, you see," frontman Bono sings in the high energy rocker. "The color of her eye. 930 Minneapolis. To desecrate domestic bliss. Three bullets blast, three babies kissed. Renee the domestic terrorist?"
"America will rise against the people of the lie," the chorus chants.
"I am not mad at you, Lord," the song continues, an apparent reference to Good's final words that were captured on video. "You're the reason I was there. Could you stop a heart from breaking, by having it not care? Could you stop a bullet in midair?"

I guess Bono gave up on independence for Ireland.
“ “We believe in a world where borders are not erased by force”
Whoa!
I’m a high school English teacher and I cannot make sense out of this sentence. I’m dizzy.
“ This is why people hate the Irish.”
Bono is a jerk. But this is a statement I have never heard. It’s quite well…hateful
What nationality is Bruce Springsteen with his equally idiotic song. You don’t know. Because it doesn’t matter
Nasty
Bono and Springsteen are the world’s biggest hyocrites. Springsteen is a communist and is a billionaire. That tells you what they are... paid lip-pieces for the monied class and corporate establishment. Corporate rockstars for the rocketting of thier bank accounts and holdings. It’s Kaboki theatre... and when you know they are going to lie to you because they think you’re stupid enough to believe them... just laugh, turn channel and say, “Too bad LOSERS! Keep talking to the stuid people. You’re right at home with the dumb crowd.”
Or are you referring to Northern Ireland who has voted to remain part of the United Kingdom and had a bunch of communist terrorist unleashed on them for decades.
Commie boy just loves bathing in the blood of the innocent.
Bono is the multimillionaire who says that lower Middle Class Americans and Europeans have to pay African nations’ debts to the IMF. A useful idiot if there ever was one.
Excellent!!!!!! And thank you. When I saw this thread, my first thought was where are the songs for the victims? If Laken Riley was my daughter, as hard as it would be, U2 would receive a picture of her in death after her head was smashed in and see if they can come up with a song to go along with the image.
This is why people hate the Irish.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That and the fact that they sit around the Temple Bar partying while real men from the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere are in the trenches dying in defense of their precious freedoms!
THEIR OWN COUNTRY IS LOST—AND THEY ARE ATTACKING ICE???
Bunch of guys in their 80s who are sorry they missed out on the ‘60s.
Old: Shut up and sing.
New (after “But actually, we can’t sing,”
Then just shut up.
Who cares?

The only reason she was not a murderer was that her wheels spun so she didn't accelerate fast enough to kill him before he shot her to stop the car.
Hypocrite tax dodgers
.......Lesbia Mileth Ramirez-Guerra.......
Lesbia?
I used to like U2, but then they started potificating in their smarmy, self-righteous, pompous way.
I can’t be bothered with them at all now.
Murdered by an illegal, and your concern is what her name was.
Odd.
Please send that list to Bono and the U2 band. Explain to them who those people are
Maybe U2 should have bothered to get full facts before hastily trying to make money from lies.
