BONO IS A 'MODERN BEETHOVEN'
Rocker BONO is a modern day 'reincarnation' of classical composer LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN, according to the editor of music magazine Gramophone. The latest issue of the British publication gives Beethoven a modern make-over, so he looks like the U2 frontman.
Editor JAMES INVERNE also claims the pair share many similarities. Inverne says, "Beethoven was a major cultural figure in his day, just as Bono is now. "In the 18th century, composers were the pop stars of their day. Beethoven was also a regular guest at court and would have been a point of reference for the Austrian aristocracy. "Bono has a comparable relationship with TONY BLAIR and GEORGE W BUSH, and the dynamic is still the same. "Beethoven believed the world should work to make itself a better place and that we should stand up against oppression."

I know a lot of you depise U2. But, during the 80's while I was in ccllege they made the best rock then. THey were the only mainstream group who made rock and roll with true passion. When Bono was still pissed off he made really great music. He wrote about bombs going off in Ireland, friends passing away from herion overdoses, ect. The music the made at that time came from the heart. The last 20 years or so after they made a ton of money, their music has come from their asses.
Bad, a song about herion addiction, is one of the best live songs ever. |
