Shuttlecock! Part X - Forfeit! Racquet Smash!

[Irvine511]

"Bono, you were saying ... you think that Chris Martin is up there with the likes of Paul McCartney?"

"Yeah, I think he's that good of a melodist. I mean, he's, you know, he's a wanker..."

poor Chrissy Martin is going to be crying into his pillow tonight.


but seriously, did something happen? i though the two kind of liked each other or had some sort of mutual respect.

maybe Boner is starting fights. that would be cool -- wouldn't it be fun to have a sort of "Legends Of Rock" version of, like, Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter or whatever the hell it is that the kids play these days. Chris Martin would be like that guy from Indian with the long stretchy arms (or would that be Sting?) and Bono would probably be like Baraka and Bjork would be all Chun-Li on that shit. and Macca could be M. Bison.

 

[phillyfan26]

No, he was joking. Unfortunately.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I listened to that shit live last night. He also called Martin a "dysfunctional character and a cretin."

It really is a shame that he went and said he was joking afterward.

Doesn't Boner kick Chris Martin's ass in Celebrity Deathmatch?

Celebrity Deathmatch is very 1998, Martha.

 

[martha]

I've only seen that episode. I bought from iTunes.

 

[No spoken words]

I enjoyed the "fry cooks" reference. Brilliant!

Thank you.

It's not really Bono's style to call someone out like that, the second I read it I assumed it was him being sarcastic.

 

[lazarus]

No Broken Cocks, did you like my song for that weak-ass Shuttlecock album that you defend so heartily?

 

[joyfulgirl]

That's what I thought. But many a truth is spoken in jest.

Much as I don't like Coldplay's music, Martin seems like a good guy, hardly worthy of badmouthing in the press. Not that I would know.

I quite enjoyed it, actually. Oh, and, you're a fucking dead man. But, yes, good job.

nloth keeps getting better and better, in my books.

fucking album really speaks to me.

And it's always going to conjure up amazing memories for you!

and Mrs. Martin is just filled with lovely suggestions of places to stay when you've taken a weekend off and gone to Paris with your girlfriends.

I just listened to Winter.

Should've been on the album.

He gets ripped a lot....but, I don't know....to me, he seems like a dorky freaking guy who hit it big, and who has not at all become any less dorky. He does not seem mean spirited or douchey, so, love or hate his music or his fawning over certain artists, I just can't really find it in me to dislike the guy.

 

[coolian2]

exactly. it should be killing me, for a variety of reasons, but instead the songs that i'd expect to hurt make me feel better.

We agree, Pedroia. Not in place of anything, but, just somewhere in there. But, via the miracle of technology, I can and likely will add it to my version of the album down the road. For now, I stick with the album as the band intended people to hear it.

I'm glad to hear that.

In 'N Out was quality? That's it?

How ballsy would it have been to have had it on the album right after MOS...

It would have fit in nicely there, methinks. Fuck it, Phanan, just put it there.

Yeah, something useful for all of us. More than I can say for that lazy ass Mrs. Boner.

 

[coolian2]

not at my mental best at the time! that was a damn fine burger.

Apparently Bono revealed on the Jonathan Ross show that Get On Your Boots is East African slang for "wear a condom"

Kinda puts a new spin on that song, huh?

More Shuttlecock tour free condoms!

You keep them because you WANT to, not because you HAD to.

 

[joyfulgirl]

You keep them because you WANT to, not because you HAD to.

That's right. Worth repeating.

 

[phanan]

It is done.

And for now, no, we won't replace anything yet. At this time, more cock is not a bad thing.

Clearly Lance's Mom is not unknown to the region.

 

[Irvine511]

i don't see why Mrs. Boner doesn't start a blog detailing the very best places to purchase EDUN in the south of france, and where to lunch afterwards.

thanks for nothing, Ali. jesus. you'd think she'd be aware that the burden of aristocracy is responsibility.

for shame.
