For the Edge, the election of Trump caused them to see a parallel between the world they wrote about 30 years ago and the world today. “That record was written in the mid-’80s, during the Reagan-Thatcher era of British and U.S. politics,” he added. “It was a period when there was a lot of unrest. Thatcher was in the throes of trying to put down the miners’ strike; there was all kinds of shenanigans going on in Central America.

They’re qn IRISH or BRITISH band aren’t they? Just like Hugh Laurie, STAY THE HELL OUT OF OUR country” affairs.
MAGA.
MAKIN’ AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and he’s not even in office yet.
U2 is a great band. But they’re Scotsmen and they don’t get a vote.
qn = an. First oops of the year. Certainly not the last.
crickets....................
Wait...Irish!
My mistake.
They really take themselves that seriously?!
I’m going to try to spin it positive here - he wasn’t criticizing Trump, or Thatcher for that matter. He was just noting that we may be at a transitional point in history
No U2 album? More winning!
FU2!
Lower room temperature IQ’s expressing their world views.
Shut-Up and sing nit wits, thank God or Reagan and Thatcher and Trump.
U2 stopped working.
Thanks God.
Used to watch House reruns late at night until what’s her name Cuddy actress showed up at a spirit cooking. Throw in Kal Penn. Last straw. Can do without that trash.
I don’t know what’s dumber, calling yourself “the Edge”, or wearing that stupid knit cap all the time. We know you’re bald now, quit trying to hide it.
The album cover should be a picture of a melting snowflake with a safety pin stuck through the middle of it.
Yeah, up through maybe Achtung Baby they were one of my favorite bands. From there on though, they just got weird and full of themselves. Seems like they long ago ran out of musical inspiration that used to connect them with fans. Long past time to either get back to their roots, or hang it up.
My rap song:
“No, no Bono
U2 go go
go pound sand”.
Anyone can record it, just give me credit and mail the royalty checks to Free Republic.
“U2 Stopped Working On Songs...Because Of Trump.”
Outstanding! Not even POTUS yet and he was able to stifle and silence a bunch of white-trash, anti-American, Irish jackasses. (No offense intended to my fellow FReepers of Irish ancestry.)
Best election ever.
Go Trump. MAGA.
P.S.: Bono and his bandmates suck balls. Never liked their music anyways, and hated their politics and self-righteous protestations. Bunch of faggots.
