Personally I thought the only good songs on 'Zooropa' and 'Pop' were 'Stay(Faraway So Close)', 'Please' and 'Staring At The Sun'. Everything else was lame and weird.
I have no doubt in my mind that 'Numb' is probably one of the worst songs ever. I cringe to the thought of a song with crappy techno music and The Edge mumbling words like a drunken idiot. 'Lemon' just proves that Bono can't sing falsettos, and for those who thought Freddie on 'Pain Is So Close To Pleasure' was annoying, you haven't heard anything yet.
Yet the worst thing about U2 in the 90s was definitely Bono as Mecphisto. While Bono spent most of the 80s standing up for human rights and preaching for social causes, all of sudden he decided to become some sort of silly demon dressed up with glitter outfits and humping cameras on stage.

HEY..I know we all boo hiss Rolling Stone Magazine, but Bono is this week's COVER STORY! and it's an amazing and longer than usual interview for any magazine to do on any artist.
He goes in detail about U2's music, career, his own life, how growing up in Dublin, and how religion and the relationship he had with his late father affected him and his music.
And whether or not you agree with his political stance, you have to RESPECT how very intelligent and on top of the issues he is with world affairs, from war to poverty to George W. Bush, to the Pope. No disrepest to alot of politicians, but Bono is keener, more involved, and more knowledgeable of foreign policy and world politics than alot of elected politicians.
Excellent interview.

As far as I'm concerned the majority of politicians and world leaders deserve little respect, and the only one in this board who seems to respect them (perhaps a little bit too much) is Sarajane.
The reason why politicians are assholes is because they seem to love power more than they love their people and their countries for that matter.

Live 8 was theirs!

Im actually going to see them in Las Vegas twice. Lets see I went to NYC shows twice and Philadelphia shows 3 times, would of been 4 in Philadelphia, but Queen + Paul Rodgers was coming so I traded my ticket with one of those NYC shows I seen.
I can't wait next week I will be seeing U2 twice and the Vegas Show WWRY!! what a great week that will be coming up!

My favourite songs are Vertigo, Exit (a little known gem from The Joshua Tree), Gone, If You Where That Velevet Dress and The Fly. I also love The Ground Beneath Her Feet, which is one of their best love songs. I think Slamn Rushdie wrote the lyrics and it was used for a film called "Million Dollar Hotel".
Sorry, Salman Rushdie. Bad typing again.
