You'll never believe it, Bono haters!

After exhaustively searching the dark web, I was actually able to track down Bono's phone number! It's (904) 743-3727 when dialed from the US and Canada. But not Mexico.

Oh, sorry. That's Bono's BBQ Pit in Jacksonville, FL.

Watch, now they'll probably get sued by you-know-who for intellectual asshole infringement.

It'd be fun to call it in a Skype session and bust balls!

Or, "amazeballs"

?

"Amazeballs in awesome sauce," is what Bono of Nazareth said recently to starving children from the country of Afrika. "You kids are doing a real bangers and mashed up job here. From the richness and meaningful nature of my latest hit single, so to are you nourished, ya feckin' whelps."

Why is U2 so popular? After all they´ve got a really boring, totally replaceable rhytm section (bass/drums), a guy who knows a couple of effects on a guitar and most of all, A REALLY POMPOUS, HYPOCRYTE ASS on vocals. All in all, they are a really boring, shitty band.

Of course, my theory of the "major public" or the "big audience" has always been, that they´re clueless fuckers who just go with the flow...

By the way, CHEERS DRUNKARDS! It´s been a long time...

I agree FearNoBeer. I know it's been over 5 years since this question but the sad part is the fact that U2 is (mindbogglingly) STILL around. Adding irritation to their popularity is the hype given to them by the fans themselves. Those people out there who think U2 is the best band ever but if you ask them to name 10 songs by them, they can't.

As it turns out, U2 hasn't always been adored by the music listening public. I found this excellent review from April 1987:

U2: The Joshua Tree

By Steve Pond

April 9, 1987

The stakes are enormous, and U2 knows it. Its last album, The Unforgettable Fire, contained "Pride (In the Name of Love)," its biggest-selling single ever, and last year the band was the musical heart of Amnesty International's Conspiracy of Hope tour. Now, it seems, U2 is poised to rise from the level of mere shitty little groups to the top of the shit pile. For a band that's always specialized in shitty music — but a shitty band utterly determined to be important — The Joshua Tree could be the big one, and that's precisely what it sounds like, a big steaming pile of shit.

With this record, U2 commits a flagrant commercial move to join the biggest piles of shit, ever. Yes, Born in the U.S.A. and Rumors now have company. The Joshua Tree doesn't contain any sure-fire smash hits. But in its shitty attempt at musical and strong-willed spirituality, the album lives up to its namesake: a fucked up cactus-like tree that grows in the rocky deserts of the American Southwest. A Mormon legend claims that their early settlers called the Joshua tree "the praying plant" and thought its gnarled branches suggested the Old Testament prophet Joshua pointing the way to the Promised Land. Well, we all know what a crock of shit those early Mormans were peddling, don't we?...

Because it's in the wrong thread and inebriated moderators do not appear to know how to move it here:

I'll tell you a true story about when I met Bono...

It was about 1985. I was in college and was a delegate to the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA). My school sent me to Chicago for a convention which was set up for all of us college activities programmers to review, and potentially hire, speakers, comedians, bands, lecturers, magicians, and musicians to perform on our campuses. The big draws that year were Larry Bud Melan, a regular on Late Night David Letterman; Meatloaf, fresh from throat surgery; and U2, a relatively unknown Irish band trying to make it big in the US. They had a couple of minor hits the year before, but were still trying to gain traction in the U.S.

Well, U2 did not score a showcase performance on the main stage due to the Copernicus Magical Extraviganza Experience taking all the attention from the college delegates.

Flash forward three hours to the onifficial party at "Big" the Hyatt Regency's famed "longest bar in the world". Bono showed up in a motorcycle jacket, jeans, and Beatles boots. Of course I knew who he was, so I bought him a drink. Shit, he had bad breath!

He accepted the drink ( I think it was a pina colada), and then turned his back on me and began to dry hump a female co ed. To make matters worse, he contined to put drinks on my tab for the rest of the night. And then, just before the bar closed ar 4:00 AM, He asked to borrow money. So I loaned him $50. I still want it back.

Fuck Bono. I hate that guy.

All the above:

I'll never be rich or, gawd forbid, super rich. Who wants minders and security and all that entourage crap.

If I did get some of that big money, I'd hope to continue to do good proper physical labor with my hands. Construct/demo, like that.

Might keep me from becoming a twunt.

Then again, think of all the booze I could get.

Now I got me a headache from all that thinking.

Calls for some more draaaanking.
