I'm still puking from that Green Day/U2 collab that they did at the Superdome when it opened up again 2 seasons ago.
SUN GLASSES ON!<b,121<b,121ARMS SPREAD WIDE!<b,121<b,121HEAD AT 70DEGREE ANGLE!<b,121<b,121WIND BLOWING YOUR LONG HAIR!<b,121<b,121OVERLOOKING A DESERT VISTA!<b,121<b,121AND... CUE HELICOPTER SHOT!<b,121<b,121BONO!
NZ, you need to fix your location. <b,121<b,121I never cared for his music. <b,121<b,121I don't understand the hate he gets for trying to help the poorest countries in the world. <b,121<b,121I think it comes from people who used to like his music but feel betrayed now that they realize how lame it is.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<b,121BULLIT THE BLUE SKY AND ITS RESPECTIVE funky ass intro break as sampled BY JOSH DAVIS<b,121<b,121plus yeah it is an ok alblum aside from the break but i think i like it more for nostalgic reasons than anything<b,121<b,121bono migt be a major douche cake/SCROTUM PAD but his heart is in the right place....I think?
I will give him some credit for making a pseudo attempt at using his "celebrity status" to bring some attention to some f'd up things in the world. But ultimately it is just some pointless,<b,121inconsequential vain bullshit that makes him look like a f*cking moron. <b,121<b,121If he really wants to help the world why doesn't the moron start to use his personal wealth, I mean last time I checked dude was filthy filthy rich. Seems to contradict his steez .

<font class="post"1<b,121<b,121I suppose he could adopt an orphan like Jolie or Madonna. <b,121<b,121What he is trying to do is get the World Bank and G8 countries to forgive 3rd world debt. <b,121<b,121As rich as he is he doesn't have that kind of money.
As a persona, Boner is a douche.<b,121<b,121As a person, he does some decent shit for some people in fucked up situations.<b,121<b,121As a singer, he's obnoxious.<b,121<b,121As a musician, he's not one.<b,121<b,121Basically, he had nothing to do with Joshua Tree, other than singing on it. Eno and Lanois ruled that album and are the reason we're talking about it right now. I can tolerate a couple tracks of that and a couple off War but that's about it.<b,121<b,121As far as his generosity goes, maybe he could do more? He's doing more than most people in his position are, unfortunately he's doing it with a cowboy hat and sunglasses on.
Does anyone have a link to the "F*ck You Bono, That's Not Cool" article in Adbusters?<b,121<b,121It basically tears apart his (RED) thing.

<font class="post"1<b,121<b,121And we, the tax payers of the world, do?<b,121<b,121Best be assured, dude is looking after his loot in tax havens.<b,121<b,121Let him make a gesture he can afford, say donate 95% of his wealth to helping write off the debt of some African nation, then the clonning might stop.<b,121<b,121Can't stand dudes like this. 'Do as I say, not as I do' is never a good look.
That Red shit is the worst. There aint nothing to stop you dropping 5 bucks on a shirt and dropping $15 on a charity. The sole reason to buy Red branded clothes is to advertise to the world what a caring and wonderful person you think you are.

<font class="post"1<b,121<b,121I hate bono as much as the next person... BUT<b,121<b,121watch the Classic Albums episode on The Joshua Tree.. there's a point where Lanois or Eno pulls up the reel to Mothers of The Dissipeared which he says the band improvised on the spot. Track meanders around and then POOF suddenly Bono emerges and literally freestyles 80% of the lyrics LIVE on the spot. Lanois / Eno were in AWE... <b,121<b,121say what you want about dood but that takes some talent.
