On the one hand, he's right. The men sing like girls.

On the other hand, the "rage" he longs for is just infantile. Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain were not manly. They were neglected infants wailing from their cribs.

Rock and roll does NOT have to be angry. That's just total nonsense. Actually, in the early days, rock and roll was about WINNING, not about angst.

Yes Bono, I wonder where they'd get that idea from.

Can't really argue his point. There is no rock band of consequence right now, but there are a lot of boy bands and poseurs. Hip hop is girly music, too, as it is dumbed down and strictly based on a beat. The "angry" hip hop (rap) is just swearing to a beat - there is no intelligence there whatsoever.

Sorry Bono. Great rock and roll doesn’t have to emphasize anger. I don’t recall a lot of anger in The Beatles - mostly peace and love - or in the California Surf sound - mostly cars and girls.

I don’t know anything about newer music, but when I hear it in passing, it seems insipid and vapid. But that’s probably how my parents felt when I was listening to Motown, Disco, etc.

Bono’s music has. Also crappy. He should maybe listen to some Black Sabbath, toughen up.

‘Rock and Roll’, the very name means sex.

Almost every early rock and roll song is a musical interpretation of sex.

It wasn’t born of anger, idiot Bono. It was born of sexual desire.

I think when it comes to true rock 'n roll rage this song really makes the cake.

I guess he probably won’t support PM May’s idea of a female James Bond either...

Salvatore "Sonny" Bono was a great song writer before he started making hits. This one, which he wrote under the name "S. Christy," is anything but girly.

No you fecking ijit. Fun, pleasure and good times are at the heart of rock ‘n’ roll. We Americans invented it. We know what it is Bozo.
