I like a couple songs during the Joshua Tree/Rattle and Hum era... We don't have to like him, but at least he's fighting the good fight.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you, sir, to go have sex with yourself. And after you're done with that, meet me in the steel cage. One fall.

with apologies to lrf: bono is so not awesome.

Fuck yeah, he is! You can all dislike m' mates music, but he's spot on. Look at yer fuckin' Superbowl XL. Could the Mick and the Stones have been any worse? Like it or not, we got the biggest & best band on the planet.

If by the biggest & best band on the planet you mean those bands which are populated by assmasters and wankers, no arguments here... With all these fake U2 registrations on 02/09, Where is the Ed. censor when we need him?

I could resist commenting if Bono wasn't the biggest, most pompous POSEUR in the world. If he wants to fight the good fight, he should stop charging $100 for a concert ticket, quit the band and move to Africa, and TRY to actually do some good.

Posted by Null Protocol on 2006-02-09 17:07:46 +0000

Please Please Please,Bono: Move to Africa and help a poverty stricken town with no electricity for tv camera satellite cable feeds... disappear... we beg you!

Guess you are all jealous. We make money off of our music and use it for good causes. Problems?

OK, point of contention: Do people think Bono is _not_ trying to do good? He is evil and wakes up thinking of ways to fuck shit up? Or is it that people on rs.n think helping African countries with debt is bad? (Because I'm on the fence here. Not only is it bad for world markets, but it could be viewed as racist - I don't really want to get into this.) Bono and G.W. Bush are a lot alike, I think. They want to try to do good, but they have been so misguided that they have no idea how to go about it.

-I can't get over the irrational hunch that all of the African debt, etc. is just a device to get lame-o's to buy U2 CD's/concert tickets/iPods (first people ever to have a signiture model computer? U2). None of this shit happens when they're NOT touring, dig? Only when a record's out. -In a lot of circles, saying that you dislike U2 is the equivilent of saying that you don't support our troops. -I have seen U2's live show, and a pandering mess of quasi-political signifiers.

Fook orf, ye so-called professor of punk! Ha! An buy me fookin' clothes as well, ye big nonce!

I'm going with the B52s...

Hey Bono: your band is from England, and Who gives a Shit? Fuck Snuggles.

I was very close to applying for a job as a regional organizer with his One campaign before I took the job I have in Nashville. I think he's at the very least trying to bring attention to things most folks in the Northern Hemisphere don't think about except when Sally Struthers brings it up on late-night infomercials guilting them into "adopting" starving children in places they wouldn't dream of visiting or helping in other ways.
