One thing that burns my bacon is how they will plan their singles and album releases to cover TWO years of Grammy nominations.
Example: They released "Beautiful Day" early enough in the year 2000 for it to qualify for nomination for the upcoming Grammys. Then they timed the release of ATYCLB to qualify for next year's Grammy nominations. So by doing that they cover both years.
They did the EXACT same thing with "Vertigo" and HTDAAB. Released a single first for the current year, then the album to cover the next year. Makes me wonder if they are trying to set a new record for Grammy wins and/or nominations.
I don't know if other artists do that same thing, if they do I don't pay that much attention. Just seems a little fishy to me, and I am thinking that the other artists notice it, too.
Also, one more thing, not to rag TOO much on Larry Mullen Jr, after all, he's the one that started this whole train ride. But would it kill him to smile every now and then for a picture? Dude, you are in one of the biggest bands in the world and are basically responsible for starting it! You have a LOT to be happy about! It's ok to show it!!
