Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
last week I was driving and I heard on this dj on the radio(star 98.7) play the opening of Beautiful Day, and before the actual lyrics started, he was talking over it, saying "For all you U2 fans out there....Bono just posted a new song on his Facebook. can you believe that? The fact that Bono has a facebook is kinda strange....but yeah, [something i cannot remember]"
I am very skeptical of the validity of that statement, but it didn't sound like a joke. First of all, i'm not sure if he meant 'myspace', because he said 'facebook' multiple times. I can't believe Bono would have his own Myspace, not to mention a Facebook. U2 does have a band myspace, which really bothers me. I still love them, but I just wish they didn't. They have a really cool website, why do they need to submit to peer pressure and conform to Myspace? I mean, it's ok if you're an up and coming band, and you post some of your songs on myspace for other people to hear in hopes of being discovered (a la Colbie Caillat, whom i happen to LOVE), but U2 are already established rock gods, leagues above other bands. it's just so unnecessary. it's obvious that it's not Bono or Edge sitting at a computer or updating via Blackberry, but it still irks me, because they are too cool for that. I hope that whoever (whomever? hahaH) was hired to be in charge of that thing at least put up a good fight and lost valiantly, because who in their right minds would want U2's name to be tarnished by joining the masses on the myspace movement. maybe if they had a cauliflower for a brain. U2 has never been about joining the masses. they are pioneers.
Plus, you can't really add songs on your facebook, and if you somehow managed to, people wouldn't be able to hear it unless they're your friend, as your whole profile cannot be viewed unless you are someone's friend. secondly, i personally know Bono, and that's just not something he would do. (ha, i kid.)
did anyone else hear this? i thought i was going crazy, but a few days later my friend (whom i have not previously talked to about this topic) informs me that she heard from the radio that Bono put a song on his Facebook, and asked me if I knew about it. i laughed.
another friend dared me to add every "bono" that comes up when i search "bono" on facebook just to see what's up.
i searched "bono" and gave up after 4 pages because all the results that came up were people with the last name Bono. really? is your last name really Bono or do you just wish you were married to him?
i then searched "paul hewson", and a lot of people with no network and a question mark as their profile picture came up, so i checked out a few by clicking "view friends", and none of them had friends. LOL. and then i checked the friends of the ones that did have pictures, and they didn't have ANY friends either. no offense, but if you don't have any friends, then what's the point of making a facebook?
HHAHAHAH that is such a funny thing to see. "Bono has no friends."
i highly doubt that Bono would make a facebook account under his real name anyway, since nobody calls him that except for his dad.
after about 5 pages and 2 minutes, i gave up and deduced that Bono is a sneaky fox and probably found a way to keep his "facebook" to himself and his prestigious circle of friends only. That, or his facebook is invisible because he used a fake name like Mrs.Harry Bollocks that only his friends would know to search. Man, I want to be his friend.
Friggin DJ on star doesn't know what he's talking about! Better get his facts straight before legions of U2 fans come storming up the studio and demand to know the secret of how to befriend Bono on facebook to hear the song. Don't mess with U2 fans! The only people who can tease U2 fans about new music is U2 themselves.
