U2 glastonbury protest

GLASTONBURY, England (AFP) – Veteran rockers U2 will face a protest during their long-awaited Glastonbury gig on Friday from campaigners angry at alleged tax dodging by the group. Direct action group Art Uncut is planning to unfurl a giant inflatable before the cameras as anti-poverty lobbyist Bono and his band take to the Pyramid Stage. [...]

HELLO HELLO

I came across an unflattering photo of Bono last week. He is straightening his bits on the beach and I thought he looked a lot like Robin Williams: I found out there are thousands of others who also think the same on totallylookslike.com. I cannot decide who I hate more between those two. It is [...]

a promise to bono

It has been a while since I had anything bono related but here is something: spinner.com: Those pesky Wikileaks cables are continuing to reveal how rock impinges on the crazy world we call politics. After missives from South Korea showed how Eric Clapton became a pawn in relations with its fractious northern neighbour, the latest [...]

bono is crap

Somebody was searcing for “www.u2 vrgin mary.com” and came here. I looked to see what other answers they would have found. More recently Bono announced that the mayor of new york (Jay-Z) was about to come on stage to sing a mix of Sunday Bloody Sunday and Bob Marleys get up stand up. Clearly nothing [...]

a nicht nicht

As Bruno says, a nicht nicht or a no-no. I am glad I was able to find at least one other person who thought the same. the voluntary participation of, Bono, Sting, Elton John and rocker, Slash, in “Bruno,” that has left many scratching their heads, wondering,” why’d they do it?” Bono was a parody [...]
