No mate, I won't argue with you there. I saw Arcade Fire earlier this year too and they blew me away.

Bono's a bit of a bell though isn't he?
Item: Flying a hat first class
Cost: $1,700
Poised to play a charity show for Iraqis with Luciano Pavarotti in 2003, Bono realised he’d forgotten his favourite trilby, so he arranged to have it flown from London to Italy by British Airways. Amid fears it might get squashed, lost or stolen, the hat was upgraded from its first-class seat and got to ride up front with the captain.
But then.. he really told off the French
"What a city, what a night, what a crowd, what a bomb, what a mistake, what a [Poor language removed] you have for a President."
He does accept his faults though..
"All That You Can't Leave Behind and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb are both really mad long titles. As I've just said them, I've just realised how ridiculous the titles are."
But then he reckons
"My name is Bono and I am a rock star."
Don't get him excited around Kids.
"Don't get me too excited because I use four letter words when I get excited."
But then he tells it like it is.
"Do to others as you would have them do to you. Jesus says that."
Rock on, Bono.

The French did blow up & sink The Rainbow Warrior like in Aukland Harbour, so that they could carry on doing nuclear testing in the Atolls of the South Pacific. Given that NZ is totally Nuclear Free (refusing to allow US Fleet to dock there to this day) it could have escalated into so much more.
On my journey from Kingsford Smith into Sydney, the guy informed me that everyone in the backpackers that had wanted to go, had been to ZooTV the night before with full backstage and aftershow passes, his mate was a tennis coach at Edgecliffe and he'd had a call to get down there, when he arrived he ended up partnering The Edge in a doubles match against his mate and a sound tech. When Edge found out about the backpackers full of Brits and Irish he sorted it all for them.
Gutted with jetlag !!
INXS played their first hometown gig for years the night that we left as well so we bashtard missed that as well, saw the Pope though.

Nah Bono's ace. He can laugh at himself. He's also incredibly smart and articulate and he gives a **** about things. I have no problem with that.
If I'm honest I was a little disappointed with Achtung when It came out.
Having spent weeks getting into the U2 zone, by listening to Joshua, Rattle, War and October, in preparation for the release day, my initial reaction was WTF is this, this aint U2.
However being the U2 devotee I was I kept listening and it grew and grew. It is a classic and IMO there last truly great ablum. One is my fave on Achtung, all that said Running To Stand still from Joshua is still my stand out Fave
