Oh my god, what's Bono's problem?! Doesn't he realize that he needs to release a statement on New Orleans?! It's obviously critical to everyone in the world to know what Bono thinks, because I don't know whether I should care or not, I need to know Bono's opinion first.
Come on people. I'm sure Bono cares, but that doesn't mean he needs to release a statement on it when he's not in the media right now, if he did he'd just be declared an attention whore, and he gets enough of that already... as for the rest of U2, who cares what
they think??
This will be the second time U2 has toured a second leg in the US after a tragedy in the US. Bizarre. I'm sure U2 will address it during the tour... I doubt they'll do the names thing like they did with 9/11, but I'm sure it will get some mention.
On a semi-unrelated note, I recorded a version of House of the Rising Sun last weekend. It sounds eerie in retrospect, though I hadn't put vocals on it, it sounds mournful to me.
