Imagine the shame. You’d never live that down.

“imagine people catching you listen to this now adays”

These words were uttered in 1991 I can assure you.

Lol yeah this band had a pretty narrow window of being the Hot New Thing I guess, as early as Rattle and Hum they were starting to seem like self-impressed knobs

"imagine people catching you listen to this now adays

oh god!"

Why what happened? Did Bono touch someone 30 years ago

30 years ago?

and we only started caring now adays?!

I mean it took me until this year to learn that the Rolling Stones bassist was a kiddie diddler, you'd think that would be the kind of thing more people talk about but apparently not

bro as long as no one from the who, the zep or bowie did anything then my conscience is clear

Bruh even I didn't know that damn

Talking about U2 though, I pray Bono is clean

Phero I hope you're joking with that one because if not I have some bad news lol

Oh god

nah im kidding - there's a perverse double standard when we talk about these oldschool rockstars. Even just then, I was reading a dailymail (ick) article and Bill Wyman is talking about his relationship with the 13 year old when he was aged 46 and he said
‘we all have a skeleton in the cupboard, it’s just if you’re a taxi driver in Halifax no one ever hears about it. But if you are a celebrity everyone does. In my case it was publicised to the world and that wasn’t really fair, I don’t think.’

poor guy, eh?

Aww poor baby (him, not the baby he was fucking)

of course the daily mail comments was full of reflective good content such as

'god, she looks good now adays'

Everyone knows that if a bad man makes good music no-one cares, whereas if a bad or even semi-bad / questionable man makes average / bad music then he’s an irredeemable fucker that deserves castration.

no pretty sure that's just you

Hooo boy here we go

I figured demon was speaking kind of broadly, like a big part of why Bono is more hated for being pretentious and preachy than Jimmy Page is for being a pedo is that U2's musical output has been much less consistently good than Led Zeppelin's (in many people's opinion at least).

Not saying that's a good thing (it isn't!) but it is definitely a thing.

It is definitely a thing aye. Not saying it should be.

It's definitely a theory

“I hear it, can actually feel, can even make out the letters of the message hovering above Bono’s head in orange wavy letters: “I … am … the … devil … and I am … just … like … you …”

I have climbed the highest mountains
And guess what?
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Yup, with you. No one else, just you!
And guess what?
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Yeah, that's really great
I can't believe I did it, but nevertheless
I have done that for you.
Only to be with you, I've done all these things
Yeah, with you, the fat one, that's it.
You're the fat one, and I wanna be with you
But, on the other hand, I still haven't found what I'm looking for!
