Reply #28: i'm a U2 fanatic, the new album is great....BUT [View All]

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

so it pains me to write this, but i'm severely disappointed in bono lately. where the hell was Mr. Outspoken Political beliefs these last 3 years? sure, he made a few light condemnations of the war, particualrly of Tony Blair for going along with Bush, but in a time when political music is needed more than ever, U2 has been MIA. except for the vague 'peace, love, or else" (yes, the title's blunt, but the song isn't), the new album is pretty light on political and social beliefs.

i disagree with many who claim bono has been a bush supporter. he's been friendly with him, mainly because of the african AIDS stuff(which, is great work, but still it's wrong too almost completely down play the most wreckless and arrogant leader in modern history)

maybe they were too busy cutting deals with corporate slime like steve jobs and his overpriced, useless ipods to get involved.

it all started when they played the superbowl halftime show. u2 is my all-time favorite band, but as much as i hate to say it, they have sold out just a wee bit these last 5 years or so.

mark my words: all u2 tix will be in the $100 plus range for the first time ever on this next tour
