Bono Editor Of Vanity Fair
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.

joshua tree? have you been stranded on an island after a three hour tour. with the professor, maryanne, skipper, etc. I’M TRYING HARD NOT TO BE INSULTING. I JUST READ WHAT I WROTE PREVIOUSLY AND WELL I SOUND LIKE AN EMOTIONAL SCHMOOL.
HEY BUDDY! PSST. YEAH YOU… THATS IT… COME A LITTLE CLOSER…that’s it.. sshhhhhhh! quiet. i want to tell you something. aaaaahhhh, ssshhhhhh… have you ever heard of an album by u2 called AHCH-f..king-TUNG BABY? THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT(GUMP PLUG). AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT COULD BE AND SHOULD BE ADDED BUT FOR CHRISTS SAKE MAN I’D HAVE TO START AT THE VERY BEGINNING. I WOULD HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING AND THATS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO WHY BOTHER. JOSHUA TREE HE SAYS, WOW! HOW MANY CHROMOSOMES DO YOU HAVE? DOES YOUR HAIR LOOK LIKE MOES NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO IT? THATS WHAT I THOUGHT. THE LAST COMMENT WAS A DEAD GIVE AWAY, YOU HAVE DOWNS SYNDROME. SORRY IF I WAS RUDE MY SPECIALLY CHALLENGED LITTLE BUDDY. HAVE A NICE DAY,…ANOTHER BIG “WTF”

well you got me?
“There Are 4 Responses So Far.”
i copied and pasted that from your huge header and for the life of me I can count no more than Three(3) responses. thats includeding Mr. dungpile graydons weak editorial reply. so depending on how one defines what “IS” is(reference to clinton as I’m certain graydon is not only a big bill fan but hillary too). your accuracy is anywhere fron 75% all the way down to a bismal 50%. If you took the very worst school in the nation and used a bell curve grading scale, I’m certain that would still be a big fat “F”. Failed. then you have the audacity to say that you’re not going to publish our “mail”. why would you need to? I just googled mine and about every other Mark Griesser listring had my email adress right next to it. Semantics. Thats how the politicians got the ignorant inner city minorities to vote out affirmative action. they just worded it so it sounded good but actually if read carefully it clearly stated that a yes vote would put the kaibash on it. oh damn! i hate when that happens. All the liberals have to say is “we are going to take money away from the rich and hand it over to you poor folk”
and like sheep to the slaughter they buy it hook line and sinker.
gee vanity fair thanks for being so secure. for some reason i had once believed VF was a reputable publication. not the national enquire…alright i’m being fecitious. good rant though. cheers.
power to the people!
