It sounds like BLM actually did the community a service for once.

Is it because the protesters still haven't found what they are looking for?

When do the new Jordans come out?

You also have to acknowledge that calling yourself "The Edge" is at least borderline douchebaggery.

Someone sounds butt hurt that he didn't buy enough pedals/effects at guitar center and learn how to use them all. Or overuse them. If you hate The Smiths and Johnny Marr too I will leave you be because you can't be reasoned with. Lol

I actually enjoy Rattle and Hum era U2. When Love Came to Town is a great song with BB King still having enough voice left to scream some blues.

Irony yes. People yelling no justice while breaking the law and not understanding the law anyway. The judge got it right.

This is interesting. I would bring this up the next time the PD is asking for budget increases.

This is good. Bono has been praising capitalism for some time now, U2 is the whitest band on earth though, so not surprised.

Pride and Sunday Bloody Sunday was U2 before they went mainstream and started pumping out crap. Never agreed with their politics, but they used to express them with real raw art. (No fruity glasses or cowboy hats, just a dude with a concert shirt and passion behind their music.)

U2 was always such bull shite. When they started, the only person who knew how to play his instrument was the drummer. I guess kudos for duping millions of people, but don't expect praise from actual musicians who went through the pain and tedium of actually learning how to play music.

Yep and The Edge. LOL! or whatever he refers to himself as, is a horrible guitarist.
