Sometimes I really want to go and look at pretty pictures of Bono. Most times, it's not worth wading through the general PLEBA area to find them.

Are they annoying you with their talk of sexy boots? Or their general sense of entitlement that they must see them at every appearance ever or else it's not fair and they must hate real U2 fans?

Bingo.

I admit, I was watching Zoo Tv this weekend and got a bit "oooh, scruffy Larry :cute:" and can be a fangirl with the best of them, but yeah, when it's "I met Bono - AGAIN!!!! and I told him I have this and that and we like bonded and omgz!!!!" that makes me want to claw my eyes out with a rusty fork. I've waited outside the arenas and all, and have done my fair share, but some people just get greedy as fuck when they have actually met the band.

Just wait til the tour starts and the dancing girls shit begins again. That was so much fun to go through the last time. :yawn:
 
I wish Bono would stop doing that, because it will stop all the nonsense and aggravation that always comes out of the battle to get picked to go onstage.

Can we call a moratorium on the following:

cowboy hats
belly dancers
sexy boots
signs saying "My sister's brother's girlfriend knows this guy who knows this girl who says YOU SHOULD DANCE WITH ME, BONO!!!!!"
 
I've never wanted to meet the band, as I know I'd be at a complete loss for words and would end up completely embarrassing myself by saying something idiotic. I've done it with bands I like less than Shuttlecock, I know it'd be even worse with them.

My stupid ass drunk as hell friend asked Keven Barnes from Of Monteal to sign his chest after a show. I was ridiculously embarrassed, and it wasn't even me doing it.

Damn it so my belly dance classes I just started taking are useless? :sad:

One of my other U2 friends who doesn't post here just wrote back "Mysterious Ways?" when I told him. :doh:

Yep, every thing I do in my life revolves around U2. :rolleyes:

I even went back to school because like U2 needs paralegals. :p

I've had some contact (a stick, an Adam wink) and I doubt that I could handle more than that. :lol:
 
When I was in line at one of the NYC shows last tour, Bono came by and did the autograph thing - it was a total madhouse of people reaching and crowding and yelling his name, I just stood back and watched from afar. I didn't want to be anywhere in that mess.

Plus, the GA line numbering got all out of whack after that, and no one ever came through to check numbers .... I have some bad concert karma coming to me because my friend and I ended up much closer than we should have been. :shifty:

But anyway, I'm really grateful that I got to have a Bono moment away from that kind of chaos, that it was just a small group of people, and those of us who had something to say got to say it with him giving us his full attention. (And to quote NSW, I hope that doesn't come across like bragging - if that's the only encounter I ever have with any of them, it was a great one to have, and it's a very happy memory for me.)

And that I didn't say anything completely embarrassing.
 
I would love to sit down and talk with them, but one of those public meeting things doesn't appeal to me at all.

Well, of course, when I say sit down with them, I mean scathingly admonish Bono on his horrible lyrics that just don't get it. I'd also inform him that world peace is all well and good except for those evil Jews in Israel. Which needs to be blown up. Stat.

Stat means now.
 
I would be lying if I said I didn't daydream about Bono coming into town again to meet with our CEO and my vp (who is close with the CEO and also knows of my U2 love) inviting me to dinner with them.

But I'm not holding my breath or anything. ;)

speaking of this, do we know if NNOTH has, 1) met the BG standard of universal artistic transcendence, and 2) effectively voiced in scathing, vivd detail and yet warm compassion the plight of the Palestinians and the treachery of the Jews?
 
It might help to think of No Net not as an album split into two sides, but one with three sections a la The Stage Names. The first four tracks creating one, the next three another, and the following four the last.

Throw out the middle section and you've got a fairly listenable long EP/not quite an LP.
