U2 Album Discography Available for Free Via Myspace

[gumdrops]

on one hand i kinda like the fact theyre still going after so long and still seem unsure about how their new material will be received (all the while prob knowing that it will still sell a million or two which is prob why their recent material is so awful). but im sick of seeing them everywhere. a whole culture show devoted to these nobs? ffs.

i like the way larry mullen and bono keep taking little digs at each other tho lol.

They were on the Irish six o clock news yesterday - again.
Seems someone in New York had the dull idea of naming a street after them.

A review of sorts by Eamonn McCann -

Expect no grit, no danger, nothing jagged or ragged to disturb tranquillity, but a toxic cloud of fluffy rhetoric, a soundtrack for the terminally self-satisfied, not forgetting heart-felt homilies on how to live a moral life.

The best response to one of those breathless Bono appeals for uplift came at a Glasgow gig when he hushed the audience to reverent silence before starting slowly to clap. "Every time I clap my hands,” he whispered into the microphone, “a child in Africa dies...”

A voice responded in broad Glasgow accent: "Well, fucking stop doin' it then.”

I must admit I like JOSHUA TREE album alot. Like Mozza said:

WE HATE IT WHEN OUR FRIENDS GET SUCCESSFUL!

But U2 aren't my friends so they can get fucked those one-trick pony Irish motherfucking cocksuckers! And they named a fucken street after them in New York!

They need another terrorist attack for that!

people have been aware of this for a while haven't they ?
this lady has some very intesting things to say about bono and his ilk, dambisa moyo a zambian economist who's just written a book called 'dead aid'
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/22/magazine/22wwln-q4-t.html?_r=2&ref=magazine

not sure that her argument that essentially markets / bonds and microfinance through the international markets is one that carries as much weight as it would have done, also the she seems to say that aid almost without doubt funds corruption, which is a bit naive.

what's happened to the red card btw, that had me seething with anger for weeks..

Must the fact that he's Irish be wrapped up in the insult? (twice?)

Quite, isn't there enough wrong with him that we don't have to resort to bringing up the irrelevant?

 

[Colz]

Exactly.

Besides, along with being a complete arse, he's actually a member of the largest ethnic minority in Ireland (ahead of the Chinese - the Poles have left the sinking ship)
- ie English. His surname should be a dead giveaway.

Happy St Patricks Day tomorrow everyone.
