oooo… our first U2 sux post (I was hopimg Helen would beat me to it)… I’d read the op ed but it slipped my mind almost immediately… There must be a new adjective for Bono, right? It’s like the ones we have aren’t stong enoug. The words are so short: u2 and bono, don’t lend themselves.
The bloke is a plank.
My pal Meredith work for Gawker.com… hey Mer -wassup?
here’s their post -which I can’t improve on snideness:
“IF we have overindulged in anything these past several days, it is neither holiday ham nor American football; it is Top 10 lists. We have been stuffed full of them. Even in these self-restrained pages, it has been impossible to avoid the end-of-the-decade accountings of the 10 best such-and-suches and the 10 worst fill-in-the-blanks.
“And so, in the spirit of rock star excess, I offer yet another. The main difference, if it matters, is that this list looks forward, not backward. So here, then, are 10 ideas that might make the next 10 years more interesting, healthy or civil. Some are trivial, some fundamental. They have little in common with one another except that I am seized by each, and moved by its potential to change our world”
