Bono


I heard the new U2 single in the car today and it was less than bad. They should stick to doing whatever it is they do when they're not making those terrible sounds instead.
A few years ago I spent several days on one of the Aran Islands located in Galway bay on the west coast of Ireland. Of the three islands I went to Inisheer, which is the smallest and least populated. There I slept on the beach, explored the island, looking at sheep, castles, and shipwrecks. At night I went to the island's pub and met these Irish guys who were having a bachelor party. They bought me Guinness and we all got good and drunk, and began signing traditional Irish songs. One guy pulled out a guitar and started playing U2 songs, and everybody sang along with those too. So, yes, the Irish love U2, but, no, I do not.
So that was weird, but later that night, we all went to a disco/techno/rave that was being thrown at the local school gymnasium, which was even weirder.
