hey bc,

check out this shit, dude-

and, as always, not A WORD Bono said was untrue.  But put one of ol' Rupies shitmongers on it
and he's the devil incarnate!  Dan Aquilante seems to conveniently forget that the band comes from
a nation torn apart by religious terrorism.  Those terrorist acts came from BOTH the IRA and the
Church Of England.  If ANYONE would know what war and peace are like, I think it would be Bono Vox.

                     HEY, BONO, JUST SING
                            by Dan Aquilante

..........................

                         October 26, 2001 -- AT their return engagement at Madison
                         Square Garden, U2 was a finely tuned rock machine, with a
                         squeaky wheel named Bono at center stage.

                         Why would the NY Post send a U2-hater to review this concert?

                         Bono, the voice of U2, sang songs about peace, love and
                         understanding in a city that was the target of hate a month ago.

                         I think that's the only paragraph without any personal slurs in it.

                         Over the course of the two-hour concert, between highlights such as
                         "Bullet the Blue Sky," "Beautiful Day," "Pride" and "Sunday Bloody
                         Sunday," he expounded on a mishmash of topics.
                         Early on he praised IRA terrorists for finally laying down their guns.

                         It's a U2 concert, asshole, that's what Bono does.
                         That's one reason they were the biggest band in the world for 14 years.

                         He kissed an American flag that a kid in the audience waved with reverence,
                         yet his jacket was lined with a cut-up Old Glory.  He told us to have empathy
                         with Muslims. "They go to church, too," he informed the adoring crowd.

                         God, he just hates them soooo much.
                         Why send a fan of Fox News to review this concert?
                         Is the whole point to piss off the reader?

                         And he concluded the concert by scrolling the names of the victims of the four
                         fatal Sept. 11 flights, as well as the names of the police and firefighters who died
                         in the World Trade Center rescue efforts, on a large display screen.
                         Deeds count, not words.

                         Hey, Dude, fuck you.
                         More than any other person in show business (possible exception Liz Taylor)
                         Bono has put his money, his mouth, his time and his passion into REAL causes,
                         like third-world debt relief - causes that may have saved hundreds of thousands of lives
                         and he did it by making friends with cold-blooded reptilian whores like Helms and Hatch.

                         One of my favorite U2 stories is the one where Bono and his wife went to some poor
                         African country and learned enough of the local language to write songs that the children
                         could remember about planting seeds and how to farm them and turn them into food.
                         So shove that "Deeds count, not words" up your ass, you partisan prick

                         This past weekend he and guitarist The Edge didn't bother to show up for their scheduled
                         appearance at the Concert for New York City - that honored those fallen heroes and
                         aided their families.

                         If you were a reporter, instead of a right-wing ass-licker, you'd give the REASON why
                         they didn't show up. I doubt they just blew off the gig because they hate New York.

                         Bono was so liberal, so politically correct, he made you want to puke green.

                         Suck me.

                         As an outsider, his audacity to think his celebrity gives him the right to tell us how and when
                         to let go of our anger made the rage hotter. You wanted to hit him upside the head.

                         No, (Koresh, have we ever seen a concert review with this much hate?) if you knew
                         anything about the band, you'd know this is part of what the people paid to see & hear.
                         And I'll bet you were the only son of a bitch in New York who thought of violence
                         when Bono used his words and music to try to help heal the city.
                         Only a Republican would want to use violence when someone talked about peace.

                         Bono should consider he's not a priest, just a singer. To steal a line that Bono
                         sang when he was a boy: "If he starts to think, he'll start to cry."

                         I'll bet every person who PAID for their ticket had a great time.
                         Only a whore who works for Rupert Murdoch would go to a U2 concert
                         and expect a man who has been preaching for 21 years to stop preaching
                         when he got to the site of the worst man-made disaster in modern history.

                         The music was great. The band played well. I wish I had stayed home.

                         Hey, Prick - we ALL wish you had stayed home.
                         What a handjob of character assassination this review was.
                         There wasn't any reason for you to go to this concert.
                         You could've hated Bono and his band without leaving your cave.

                          Even Rude Rich doesn't hate U2 this much...
