Grrrr.....I had to miss the live webcast, but thank God for the extensive highlights.
Nice to see Bono evening the score.....attending a Bush Sr. hosted event and a Clinton event in the course of a week.
Thoughts:
--Am I the only one who hears the words "Apollo Theater" and has "Walk On The Wild Side" running through their brain?
--Clinton has lost a ton of weight. Bono needs to learn his secret. Though I hope he will never have to be forced to it by a heart condition. As for Clinton's body language....I think he has always been a touchy-feely guy by nature, long before he became, well, REALLY "touchy-feely". He and Bono have that outgoing thing in common.
--You know, I am concerned that Bono and Edge are starting to rub off on each other. Edge is starting to dress like Bono (that UNHOLY #*$*#$* BLACK!!! ). He looks so good in colors., what, Edge, are you doing?? Bono and Ali have that look trademarked, but that should be their domain alone. Edge is guilty of copyright infringement!We don't need triplets!
--And Bono you can stop acting the Elder Statesman. Come on you guys, CUT LOOSE!!!It's unnerving--we all know the guy can swivel his hips with the best, like he did in auditorium in Addis Ababa in '04. As for Edge....well, he can teach ME "belly dancing lessons" anytime. You know where he'd get THAT from.....
Geez you guys, at this rate you might as well unplug and go folk on your next tour, like Dylan in reverse. Just because you're old enough to be some of these people's dads doesn't mean you have to act like it! You'd never know U2 ever were a rock band at this rate. I'm disappointed in you guys.
--Speaking of which, what ever happened to being in the studio? Adam could probably care less, but Larry must be having kittens--or rather German Shepherds, by now.
The guys must be delaying b/c Bono wants to make sure that the fall leg of the next tour will take U2 to the States during the next Election.
--Shakira is adorable. And what a voice! She'd a fantastic cross between Dolly Parton and Jewel with a splash of salsa. I haven't watched MTV in ages becuase they don't play music anymore, and radio is dross. I think I'll check her out. Recommendations?
--It's really criminal that Wyclef Jean isn't as big a R. Kelly or 50 Cent. He should be freaking EVERYWHERE.
Just think of it.....Edge is sleeping in a bed right now just 2 1/2 hours south of me, *le sigh*
