I find it funny that you even think I am short sighted enough to even want to enter a field that would place me in a cubicle.. You have no idea who I am, or where I am going professionally. So I won't even address the rest of your post.

Unless U2 have a really scary midlife crisis and start populating their videos with writhing half-naked young women, I think they have a pretty good chance to age gracefully.
Maybe rocks stars aren't supposed to age gracefully...who knows? I really haven't seen many who do. Maybe U2 will be one of the first. I hope so. I would kind of dread seeing them end up like The Who or Plant & Page, and this isn't even appearence wise-although Robert Plant looks like an old grandmother now-just listen to how they sound. Does anyone want U2 to end up like this? Touring & taking your money just because they can, even if they have become a shadow of their former selves?

I think that the reason many people find Aerosmith embarrassing is not because they're "old", but rather because they're acting as if they're stuck in a Never-never land. I mean, I'm all for rock stars to be flashy and fun, but the sight of Steven Tyler in torn-up sleeveless T-shirt and rippled jeans singing while the camera's fuzzy focus blurs out his wrinkles in Aerosmith's last video is just plain cringeworthy.

if it's another mainstream pop album like ATYCLB, I hope it is their last. You can respond if you want, I didn't say I disliked ATYCLB, but to me it's U2-lite, and I'd rather just have them move on than make another attempt at selling records.
That is one of the funniest things I have ever heard!!!! LOL!!!Originally posted by HeartlandGirl:
Perhaps you should write a letter to U2 and Principle Management letting them know how you feel. I'm sure they would take your opinion into consideration as they debate the direction of U2's career.
U2 is going to do what they want. If they decide to make five more albums and they're all up on stage in Depends with no hair/gray hair and pants pulled up to their nipples, then you can decide not to be a fan anymore. The bottom line is, U2 will make the decision and live with the consequences, not the "fans."

AC/DC has both sales and longevity. Best damn REAL rock n roll band on the planet IMO. No facades, no gimmicks.

Sadly, once artists are past the age of 42 it seems they become unpopular
Originally posted by Zoo Station: Appearance wise I don't want U2 to go on for too long because they'll be like the Stones and be remembered as a bunch of greying, 40/50 year olds. The funny thing with ATYCLB was although they had reached 40 cept for Edge they looked younger than they did for Pop. I remember being shocked at how old Bono looked with his cropped hair and withered eyes. Adam also looked really grey. With ATYCLB they solved the problem with Bono has grown his hair back and he shows no signs of balding.[perhaps this is nitpicky but his hairline is obviously recedingIt's dyed jet black so he looks really young. Adam has also dyed his hair as well. Larry has remained as a ageless as ever while the Edge still has his hats to hide his bald head. He needs to dye his goatee though!
But it is not just on age and appearance. U2 simply have no further musical directions to take and explore....
They would also be too old to master any new directions properly though it is amazing how young they sound on Pop despite being mid/late 30s....
If they did make anymore albums after this next one they would just be the same in style and steadily worce than the previous one.

It may be hard for our younger forum members to believe, but life does not end at 45 and people can be creative and vital even when they aren't as young and sexy as they once were. Yes, even past the advanced age of 45 or even "gasp" 50! They may not have quite as much mass appeal (due to attitudes like those above) but they still can do great things.
You are correct. Age is just a number. It won't matter to me if U2 sales start to decline as long as they continue to do good work. No other active band can really touch them in terms of sales & longevity. They don't really have any thing to prove. My point is I don't really want to see them start to cruise, as Bono says, and turn into another dinosaur act. If there is any band that can be creative & relevant into their 50's, it probably is U2. The only thing I'm saying is how many bands or artists have been able to achieve this? Can anyone name more than 2 or 3? I have faith in U2, and I hope when they know can't deliver the goods anymore, they will take themselves out of the game.

Jealousy huh....Do you know where I went to school? I respect ND - and actually spent quite a bit of time there while in college. I even cheer for the Irish.
I have an enormous amount of pride for MY alma mater. Its has served me well in my career pursuit. The pride that my fellow alums have for our school has also helped out quite a bit along the way.
But, Silly naive college boy, wait till you get out into the real world and realize college is all about what you make it - not a pretty name you put on a resume. This "jealousy rears its ugly head" won't be an excuse for why you don't get a job - or end up sharing a cubicle with someone who went to a technical instution - and made the most of it.
Oh, bells will ring in Interferenceland when our little Naive Lemonite gets his first taste of humble pie. Wear a bib L.unplugged, it's going to be a messy day at the dinner table!
Go Irish!

Careful there with the sarcasm... I have TWO degrees from ND and probably a LOT more "world" experience than you. Don't dismiss someone because of their age - and this goes BOTH ways. I'd hate to see someone dismissed because he/she doesn't have enough world experience simply due to youth; yet I'd hate to see someone dismissed as not relevant due to age.

To explain, the sarcasm comes in when I targeted this message to Lemonite who is contantly degrading people because of their age ( I have seen him do it to a handful of people in FYM), and I am tired of it. He is always so self righteous, and it is sickening.

Doc,
Zonelistener has made it a vendetta from his cubicle that he was telling me I was going to Walk into a cubicle and trip face first whilst falling on top of a bottle of Jack Daniels as someone trips me by tying my shoelaces together.. And that is going to be an everyday happening apparently.. And apparently he assumes I'm going to be entering 'business'.. Well, we'll let him assume what he wishes.
He also likes to use big words he just looked up in Rogets.
