telecaster So I just watched the opening of the Clinton Library

Clinton, Bush I, Bush II, Carter, Hillary etc all on stage
making great speeches, laughing, having a great time, complimenting each other, healing wounds, getting along all on stage in the pouring rain

Warmed my heart

Then......................

Oh ya.....................

Unfucking believable......

No way....................

Can't be..................

Make it stop..............

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN WOULD YOU PLEASE WELCOME BONO AND THE EDGE

I am dreaming.............

This can't be happening...

Out walks that twat Bono and the guy with the ski cap

After all these great speeches and all this harmony this
ahole gets up to the mike in front of the current and all the ex-Prez's and starts on debt relief, the peace process, AIDS, on and fucking on and on

Then, in the pouring rain they do three of their longest possible songs ignoring the fact that everyone is getting douched by the rain and bored out of their minds

Why? Why? Why?

I wanted to shit liquid

I wanted to end transmission

I wanted to move to Bora Bora

I wanted a very dry top-shelf Gin Martini with two olives

What will it take to make this guy just go away?

Ireland: What are your demands? Is it money, territory?

What is it you want to end this madness?

Ok...well you can send Bono back to us then, in that case. Problem sorted, I think.

Wouldnt it be great if everything was THAT easy?

parmeda Is it me?
Or is Bono pulling a 'Jesse Jackson'?

That fucker is everywhere!
November 18th, 2004 02:58 PM
Gazza Jesse Jackson was here just last week.
Maybe he and Bono have swapped roles, or else theyve morphed into each other

Hell ya he was. He wants to own a Guiness distributership

He owns THE largest Budweiser distributership in the
United States. Shakedown city

He was going to protest against Bud for who knows why and they gave him the beer deal to shut him up

Funny, a "Reverand" owning a beer distributorship

Someone please tell me this never happened

This is as bad as the Justin Timberlake episode which also never happened

Bloozehound I watched part of it earlier, it was kinda surreal
November 18th, 2004 05:00 PM
Night Clerk Its actually two regions/two distributorships and two of Jesse's sons actually own them.

True, his son actually owns it. His unemployed son with zero experience in business and zero experience in the distribution business ends up owning THE largest beer distributership in the US

November 18th, 2004 05:27 PM
gypsy In one of my magazines, Bono is on the "quotes" page...and there's a little pic of him looking all smarmy as per usual, and his quote is something to the effect that he wouldn't run for President because he'd have to move into a smaller house.
Sort of jb-ish, isn't it?

Alexander Pane's new movie " Sideways " is one of the most compelling and illuminating motion pictures that I have EVER had the distinct pleasure of viewing .

Please see it over the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend and thank your young Joey Ewing later ( Ruth's Chris ?!?! )

Oh , and please do not forget that Howard Stern is on David Letterman this evening .

Some Guy Review: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

Rolling Stone, November 17, 2004

Rob Sheffield


(Four stars)

Halfway through the excellent new U2 album, Bono announces, "I like the sound of my own voice." Well-said, lad; well-said. Ever since U2 started making noise in Dublin several hundred bloody Sundays ago, Bono has grooved to the sound of his own gargantuan rockness. Ego, shmego -- this is one rock-star madman who should never scale down his epic ambitions. As the old Zen proverb goes, you will find no reasonable men on the tops of great mountains, and U2's brilliance is their refusal to be reasonable. U2 were a drag in the 1990s, when they were trying to be cool, ironic hipsters. Feh! Nobody wants a skinny Santa, and for damn sure nobody wants a hipster Bono. We want him over the top, playing with unforgettable fire. We want him to sing in Latin or feed the world or play Jesus to the lepers in his head. We want him to be Bono. Nobody else is even remotely qualified.

U2 bring that old-school, wide-awake fervor to How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The last time we heard from them, All That You Can't Leave Behind, U2 were auditioning for the job of the World's Biggest Rock & Roll Band. They trimmed the Euro-techno pomp, sped up the tempos and let the Edge define the songs with his revitalized guitar. Well, they got the job.

On Atomic Bomb, they're not auditioning anymore. This is grandiose music from grandiose men, sweatlessly confident in the execution of their duties. Hardly any of the eleven songs break the five-minute mark or stray from the punchy formula of All That You Can't Leave Behind. They've gotten over their midcareer anxiety about whether they're cool enough. Now, they just hand it to the Edge and let it rip.

During the course of Atomic Bomb, you will be urged to ponder death ("Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"), birth ("Original of the Species"), God ("Yahweh"), love ("A Man and a Woman"), war ("Love and Peace or Else") and peace ("City of Blinding Lights"), which barely gives you time to ponder whether the bassist has been listening to Interpol. "Vertigo" sets the pace, a thirty-second ad jingle blown up to three great minutes, with a riff nicked from Sonic Youth's "Dirty Boots." "City of Blinding Lights" begins with a long Edge guitar intro, building into a bittersweet lament. "Yahweh" continues a U2 tradition, the album-closing chitchat with the Lord. It's too long and too slow, but that's part of the tradition.

Like all U2 albums, Atomic Bomb has false steps, experimental bathroom breaks and moments when the lofty ambitions crash into the nearest wall. As America staggers punch-drunk into another four-year moment we can't get out of, it would be a real pleasure if the political tunes had any depth. (How long? How long must we sing this song?) But Bono scores a direct hit on "One Step Closer," an intimate ballad about his father's death from cancer in 2001; "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" is the song U2 did at the funeral. When Bono sings, "You're the reason why I have the operas in me," his grief and his grandiosity seem to come from the same place in his heart. It's a reminder that what makes U2 so big isn't really their clever ideas, or even their intelligence -- it's the warmth that all too few rock stars have any idea how to turn into music.
