Not necessarily. Many young voters really see it as a choice between two evils. See also this article: Young voters aren't warming up to Biden. They know it means Trump could win again. And older voters may be a bit more conservative, many people who were very liberal in the '90s are seniors...

Lu! I'm shocked, shocked I say. :o :D

Well, I do believe the district voted for Trump in 2020 by +2 or +3 (and not +31). Still, she lost by 7 points in 2022 and won by 24 points this year, so that is quite a swing.

You can state what you want of course when you're more or less the only U2 forum still standing (as quiet as it is here anyway).

Well, Shazam doesn't recognize the song either. But the vocals are definitely not Bono, not even close. The style is also more rootsy than U2, with vocals sounding more like Julian Casablancas from The Strokes. So it's remarkable that someone thought this might be U2.

Sure. I have a Hotmail account (with Popmartijn before the @).

That doesn't ring familiar. At least, I don't know a U2 song that has any lyrics close to that.

This needs a little getting used to. No more blue crack... :s (And it seems that smileys aren't working either. :| ) (Oh, it seems some are...)

Same here. I only use Interference when I'm on a laptop. So with an Ad-Block installed there are no annoying ads. Never used the app. I don't like it when I need to use a separate app for every little thing on my phone.

Yeah, we're waking up with a huge hangover here. That was not a good result. With every election I hope he suffers a big loss, but this time too many were protesting. And falling for his xenophobic rhetoric. Unfortunately. :(

Just announced, there will be a Diamonds And Pearls boxset. https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/prince-diamonds-and-pearls-reissue-confirmed-full-details/ Maybe not the most interesting album, but the contents do look nice. Next to the original album there's also 1 CD of single edits, B-sides...

Well, they're also trying it in Tennessee, in a way. https://eu.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/05/tennessee-house-lawmaker-expulsion-vote-future-of-gop/70081721007/

You can still subscribe and get the package. They still offer it.

I'm interested, but not overly enthusiastic. I see it as a side curio. Hope the rumours are true that a new album (with new songs) is coming at the end of the year. That Songs Of Surrender is not a dead end into irreverence for them (like the Springsteen 'soul' karaoke album).
