U2’s Bono is reportedly continuing his crusade for Africa by guest editing the July issue of Vanity Fair magazine. Current editor, Graydon Carter, is quoted in the New York Times as saying: “Bono will make a different issue about Africa than we would. I think there isn’t one editor in the world who would not pay attention if Bono pulled up and said he wanted to edit a magazine.” Carter added, “We need to get better at storytelling. We’ve got to get better at telling the success stories of Africa in addition to the horror stories.” I really hate to bash this guy since he is doing so much good for the world. I just wish he could give us more than two good songs per album. Seems like U2 puts out two great singles, I get excited about them again, buy the album…then the rest SUCKS. Spend more time in the studio Sir Bono!

WTF? I ALMOST OR I DO QUESTION THE VALIDITY OF YOUR ARTICLE ON THE VANITY FAIR ARTICLE. I JUST DON’T BELIEVR THIS GUY GRAYDON SAID WHAT HE DID. EITHER THAT OR HE’S A TASTLESS FAG. I WONDER WHICH ALBUMS HE IS TALKING ABOUT. NOT ONLY IS HE CLASSLESS HE IS NOT ALL THAT INTELLIGENT. U2 HAS NEVER MADE ANY OF THEIR MUSIC FOR ANYONE OR THING OTHER THAN THE THE CONTENT OF ENERGY, EMOTION, CONVICTION AND BREVITY THAT RESIDES IN THEIR HEARTS. SO EITHER GRAYDON OR THIS OUTFIT I’M WRITING TO- YOU CAN STUFF THAT IN YOUR SORRY SACK MISTER!
SINCERELY,
AN ARROGENT BASTARD
PS- WHICH RECORDS AND WHICH TWO SONGS”

Ok I should say…..since Joshua Tree, every album after that has been WEAK. Two good songs at best. Their last album, they even admitted that they were going to scrap the whole album cause they hated it.
