Shuttlecock! Part XVIII - Like the top of an airborne birdie's head

[elevated_u2_fan]

I liked it more on second viewing but it wasn't "magnificent" that's for sure...

 

[mad1]

I watched Zoo the other day.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Zoo TV? Zoo Station? Zooopa? Help me out a little here...

 

[mad1]

Zoo TV, still have it on VHS.

I still love how RTSS morphs into Streets.

and Bono at the beginning, playing Kung Foo and smoking and in general being a very clever Fly.



like, from Lovetown to that, what a fu************ transformation.

so glad they done it.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Still my favourite concert to watch Dirty Day into Bullet is sofa king good....

 

[mad1]

I wonder did poor Adam jump the f*8k out of his skin like that with EVERY bang for every gig during Daddys Gonna Pay.

LOL!

LOL!

 

[corianderstem]

Ha! I always laugh at that part, too.

 

[mad1]

poor lad! LOL!

I also love watching Edge really come to life when Morleigh appears!

A small slice of amusement for you all:

Fuck Yeah, Bono!

I enjoyed that, especially:

DUBLIN—In what many record- industry insiders are calling a return to the band’s mid-’80s prime, members of U2 announced Monday plans to stare in different directions. Guitarist The Edge said he will stand slightly behind lead singer Bono and stare off to his right, as if gazing purposefully into an uncertain, yet hopeful, future. Bassist Adam Clayton will stare downward, burdened by the weight of injustices all over the world. Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. will look up*, as if searching for guidance from a higher power. Lead singer Bono has still not committed to a specific position, saying, “That is a decision I can only make in the actual moment of artistic creation. But it’ll be a different direction than the other three, you can count on that, brother!” The multi-directional staring is expected to take place atop a jagged, rocky peak.

I liked this one:

Dear Mum:

On the new tour, Bono has us wearing giant heads. It has something to do with being pop stars. Inside my giant head, I cannot breathe. Also, they are heavy.

Love,
The Edge

I love that they took those from other sources - the one above was from a McSweeney's piece, and the one with the "staring" was from The Onion.

Well done, whoever made that site!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Brilliance. Sheer brilliance.

Someone better start thinking of a clever name for the next 'Cock thread.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I was thinking that myself

[u2popmofo]

Hey guys.

Hey.

I am sick of working for the day and want to go home.

Actually, I'm sick of working for the week.

Hey.

 

[corianderstem]

Hay is for horses, yo.

But yes, I'd like to be done now, too. But I was home sick on Monday, so I'm only having a four day work week and really shouldn't complain.
