Here at rock nyc there is a sense of excitement, a feeling in the air, a nervous joy, it is gonna happen we just know it: U2 are coming back. It has been slim pickings the last couple of years, an occasional snide comment about the Spiderman closing and a long unblinkered loathing of worst u2 song ever, the dreaded “Ordinary Love” is all we have managed.
But things are opening up, first the unspeakably wretched “Ordinary Love” helped U2 At the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the band were honored with the At the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the band were honored with the Sonny Bono Visionary Award (an oxymoron if ever I hear one) all know that a vision without a promise is just a fantasy,’ said Bono. ‘We’re not interested in that.’
Is that the most pompous stupid… man, this guy irritates me.
Than U2 won the Golden Glob award for best song for the lame-o crappola “Ordinary Love”. I mean, really, “Ordinary Love”???? “Do You Want To Build A Snowman” is better, Are these guys deaf? It is up for an Oscar as well… the mind boggles, wow, what fools these mortals be. “This man turned our life upside down, right-side up, a man who refused to hate, not because he didn’t have rage or anger or these things, but that he thought love would do a better job.” Jesus, I hope Mandela wasn’t like that in real life, I’d hate to have o punch him.
So, so far so good, right? All irritating U2 one oh one but wait there is a new song… “New Song, New Video, New Year” was the headline of their newsletter but is there really a new song? “There’s been some online buzz this week about what the band have been up to in LA.
Here’s the scoop.
It’s all about a new song called ‘Invisible’, a track the band will be releasing as part of an initiative with (RED), to support the fight against AIDS.
Everybody’s really excited about the song and the band have been shooting the video in LA.
That’s all we can say for now… we’ll keep you posted!”
So wait, U2’s big news is that one of these days there is gonna be big news?
Yes, folks, the most overrated, egotistical band on the planet is back.
