Pop Musicology - "The Second Drummer Drowned"

Who Says Bono Isn't Self-Righteous?

August 29th 2006 13:15
Imagine the scene. Bono walks into U2 towers. 'For God's sake, there's so much ill in the world! How on earth do we go about erasing it?'

At that moment, Luciano Pavarotti walks in. 'Ciao, Bono! Wanna do a tawdry interpretation of Ave Maria with nonsense lyrics about how bad war is whilst simulataneously making us look like heroes of the first world?'

'You bet your sweet massive ass I do!'

hey, there's a lot of money to be made pretending to give away money.

If Bono has taught us anything, it's that you can't write good music and help the world at the same time. Start being altruistic, and your music goes to hell. U2 haven't written any actually decent songs for nearly 10 years.

But seriously, what's with all the duets he's doing at the moment? Getting quite annoying.

he recently edited a broadsheet newspaper for one day in the UK. the front page said something like 'there is no news today. thousands of children have died in africa.'

as he knows more and cares more about it than anyone else. and its not like he leads by example either. this is a man who flew his hat first class across the atlantic. clearly something is awry with him.

and sorry to anyone reading for the lack of posting over the last day or two, am back and forth to the capital this week covering a mini festival, pics and that to follow.
