So what better place to share my thoughts with you in regards to U2. So I'm here in my office and I'm hearing some of my co-workers talk about Bono & U2. They are having this conversation on how artists have at one point or another done compelation guest appearances with the likes of Mary J. Blige, J-Z, Coldplay etc and many others. So I hear Bono's name being mentioned by my c--worker. "Then Bono comes in that part of the song, the biggest ego and sings.. blah blah blah... with a full line up of ego's in the music industry ". Another of my co-workers says, "Yeah, the thing that I don't like about U2's music is how they always throw in the social agendas and shove it down evryone's throat blah blah blah..." They proceed to mention Coldplay as well. Now, I know that this has been stoned to death about Coldplay becoming the next U2... they somehow ended the conversation with Coldplay going down U2's path.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love music... there is some real talent out there. My co-worker who is trying to get into the music business is in a Hip-Hop group. It's more of a throw back early 90's style. He really has talent. But when I hear him and others talking like that about my favorite band.... it bugs the shit out of me. In times like this... where we have a shitty economy, poverty, war etc. you name it... why is U2 being bashed so much for being socially concious? I mean, we hear bitch this and bitch that... bling this and bling that. Songs that don't mean squat. Have people really lost perception of reality. I'm I making sense!?!? Feel free to add your two cents. And sorry for any typos....
