Urban Hat€monger ?

I remember the first time I ever heard Coldplay. I remember it well. It was Jo Whiley`s Channel 4 TV show around 1998.

My reaction to it was pretty much 'oh look , it`s Radiohead with all the interesting bits taken out & Alan Partridge on vocals'

I love Bono's voice, granted he is a douche, trying to be all likable and donating to charities, what the f*ck is his problem?... What an assh*le.

If you think personality is a good reason to not like someones music then fine, just keep in mind that Morrissey is a huge douchebag, and everyone here loves The Smiths.

Urban Hat€monger ?

Exactly

You`re always calling me up for saying all this stuff about hating U2 and saying that my opinion of Bono shouldn`t be a factor in judging the music , and yet Morrissey is just as big a prick as Bono and yet I like both The Smiths and his solo stuff.

So you see , my U2 hating is all about the music , anything idiotic Bono does is just a bonus,

And The Smiths = SUCK

Johnny Marr has the most BORING guitar riffs I have ever heard, I am lost as to why everyone sucks his d!ck

Urban Hat€monger ?

In that case i`d avoid British Rock music right now. It`s like a generation of kids listened to nothing but Johnny Marr & Paul Weller.

Well, as all of Bono's charity donations are 'anonymous', yet Bono always puts his face in front of all these campaigns, I tend to assume that he's not putting as much in as he'd like people to think.

And I don't think he has any long-term strategy, in that he announces that HIV medication being cheaply available in Africa is something that is extremely important to him - yet I've never heard of Bono or U2 providing research grants into HIV medication, or filing patents for HIV medication, or buying facilities to product HIV medication. And if they don't produce the medication themselves, what rights do they have to affect the price at which the medication is sold? U2 have considerable financial muscle which they could put behind campaigns in smart ways which I think could really change things. But I think they prefer just to make noise and get attention for performing charitable acts.

Because Bono makes these decisions that take a lot of people's time and money and clearly doesn't seem to know half of what he's talking about, I think he's a complete ****.

And I don't like the way he sings, or his lyrics. The EDGE is great, though.
