One of my LA hipster friends posted a status on Facebook today expressing anger and confusion over the SOI invasion of her phone, and others joined in, in case anyone thought everyone had moved on and forgiven.

She did at least give props to “old” Shuttlecock, and someone else said they still loved Boy, for what it’s worth.

How funny. We have the same mutual friend. I saw the post as well.

this might just be the cringiest thing I've ever seen on the internet. boris johnson as a superhero fighting for gender equality. are you fucking kidding me.

 

[prbiker15]

“Cringiest” is an understatement.

 

[lazarus]

Can’t believe that Drunk Uncle is the PM. We’re talking Rob Ford territory.

LMAO the face used for Trump was hilarious.

But cmon, this video is very U2. Boris is no superhero, but Bono and friends play ball with bad actors in the light of good motives. "Ted Cruz in the house!"

I've decided to ignore it and just pretend that it never existed

 

[lazarus]

Like U2 has with Pop, amirite??

Spoiler

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Where's the new U2 album at? Anybody know?

Bump

 

[mikal]

Kudos for adding really stupid looking Trump faces to that video though.

This is the most embarrassing thing U2 have done in the last decade.

Same. I have a feeling this is a great decision.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Its really not that big of a deal lmao it’s just like old people sharing things on Facebook in 2019.

It's probably for the best, I watched about 30 seconds with the sound off on Instagram and wanted to kill myself.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Its the cringiest thing they've done since Bono and Tim Apple[emoji769] touched fingers ET style.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Heard Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot" on an episode of David Fincher's MINDHUNTER and it reminded me that the U2 cover is pretty damn solid. Just listened to it for the first time in probably a decade.

 

[DaveC]

fuck yeah. that's one of the best covers they ever made.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

fuck yeah. that's one of the best covers they ever made.

Admittedly, this is a very small list.

 

[Kieran McConville]

That or Unchained Melody were probably the best from that, or any, era. After that it's pretty much crickets. Yeah ok, Satellite of Love, whatever. Anything else?

 

[djerdap]

Night and Day is easily the best one for me.

 

[DaveC]

probably not a very popular opinion but i've always had a soft spot for springhill mining disaster.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Post-2000, I enjoyed Neon Lights. Or at least, I enjoyed U2 wanting to do Neon Lights.

 

[kabigon]

Happiness Is A Warm Gun not for any objective quality, but for me it sums up their mindset in the Pop era to do something that may not be popular, potentially alienates two fan-bases, and release it anyway.

Actually, I can roll with this.
