Julie, you are sadly ignorant. Many song writers do not sing well.

Julie agrees songwriter Bono doesn't sing well: "I love some of his songs . . . but when faced with the awful actuality of his yowling, I remember what Prince once said about him: ‘You know what I’d do with a voice like that? Become a janitor.’" Prince ignorant as well?

LOL...I actually liked Crime and Punishment. I didn’t like the Brothers Karamazov as much because the dog died.

But I never understood why U2 was so big. Just don’t get it.

Same here. I’ve thought of them as overrated since the 80s.
