I have a huge love/hate relationship with Bono.

Yeah, I know what you mean. One minute a 'hero', the next minute a clown. I can only conclude that his heart is in the right place, it's his mind I sometimes question.

Well, I think his music stinks, & his persona is about is fake as they get. "Bono"... "The Edge"... sounds like the less-than superheroes you might get if you crossed the Fantastic 4 with pickled beef & cabbage.
I think his politics stink.
I think his attitude towards those of us who are in the "great unwashed" yet aren't lowly enough to be deserving of his pity stinks.
He acts like he's a great philanthropist (sell that castle, cut the bank accounts down to 1 or 2 million pounds, & donate the rest to charity, & I'll buy it), & he might even be a nice guy...
...But how would we ever know?

HEY T
I've been a U2 fan forever. I dig the music, yet take a HUGE pass on his altruistic, save-the-masses politics.

Personally, I love U2... been a fan since '85. But my jaw nearly hit the floor when Bush had him in for a chat at the White House a few years back. So let me get this straight: Bono is a pop/rock star, and not even an American. But he can get into see my president. I can't. GRR.

HEY SNOWDOG
Sell a few million records to your neo-riche bleeding hearts, make a few trips to a third-world country to meet with halo-encrusted figure heads, then have a dozen sold-out stadium performances where you can bathe in the glow of world unity...the Lincoln bedroom is YOURS.

I wanted to check back in & see what the response to my comment was going to be.
I don't like U2 at all, but if you do, that's fine with me.
Personally, I find U2 to be monotonous, whiny, & pretentiously dark. I don't like anything about their sound. To me, it sounds like nothing more than industrial pop churned out to sell records.
Do notice that I wrote "I think U2 stinks"--not just "U2 stinks".
I'm sure if I posted a list of the music that I do like, there would be plenty of people who could tear it to shreds based on their own criteria.
I'll even go so far as to admit that some of what I like isn't all that good--I just happen to like it.

I think I git it.
It's the differnce betwixt "I think U2 stinks" an' "That there Michael Booblay stinks, period."

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
