Title: Turnabout is fair play
Post by: Dave W on December 23, 2009, 10:31:34 AM
I got a laugh out of this (http://aidwatchers.com/2009/11/african-leaders-advise-bono-on-reform-of-u2/).  ;D

Unfortunately I think the situation became hopeless many years ago.

"Saying that U2's rock had lost touch with its African roots, the commission called for urgent measures to halt U2's slide towards impending crisis."

African roots?  AAAAAAAAfrican roots????????

Are you sure this wasn't posted April 1 instead of Nov. 23?

Dissing Bono brings out - admittedly - my worst and lowliest cheapshot traits.

Will now someone mention that the U2 bass player is not very good either before Tom/gearhead puts up the usual defense for Herr Clayton?  :mrgreen: That could lead smoothly to some tasteful pics of Tom's erstwhile chick singer before we all concentrate on Third World issues and the fight against hunger again ...

Adam is the best bassist in U2.

Maybe not the best in choosing assistants: Story (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/dec/21/u2-adam-clayton)

Well, he could have picked up a thing or two from his erstwhile girlfriend, Ms Naiomi Campbell, who always had a heavy hand in domesticating her servants and was a good shot with missiles too.

Alternatively, he could just start paying his people better.

The more I hear about U2 the more I'm glad that I never liked them. Saves me from feeling let down!
