U2 releases Renee Good tribute song 'American Obituary'

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?"

"We believe in a world where borders are not erased by force," added U2 guitarist The Edge

Uh, it sounds like The Edge doesn't understand which side Renee Good was on.

Bono is not an American citizen

Period

In case anyone wants to argue:
“Presidential Medal of Freedom- 2025”

Atropine and definitely not Trump
In January 2025, Bono was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in the United States, by President Joe Biden.[255] A statement on whitehouse.gov called Bono a “pioneering activist against AIDS and poverty” and credited him with creating

“This is why people hate the Irish.”

And Bono in particular!

My first thought? Someone is telling her kids that their dead Mom has had a song written about her by someone famous!

Of course, they’ll OMIT that it was because Dear Old Mom was shot as she tried to run down an Officer of the Law and ‘Second Mom’ egged her on! But that’s just a minor detail...

Bono cares a lot about the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. What a douche.

I'm Renee Good.

I tried to run over people and I died.

My Mutual Masturbation partner cheered me on as I died.

She raised money off my death and is now a millionaire.

I don't think she actually loved me.

I died trying to murder someone to protect a child rapist from being arrested.

I was a fool.

And I died.

Don't be like me.
