It's early in the morning, but we should think about this. If, for some reason, the U2/Danger Mouse collaboration becomes long delayed or, God forbid, never sees the light of day, we should examine, throughout human history, "worse things that have happened" than the delay of the Danger Mouse album. Off of the top of my head, I can think of two things straight away that have happened that have been worse:
1. Diana, Princess of Wales, dying in a car accident at a much too young age.
2. Michael Jordan finishing his playing career as a slow, old man in a Washington Wizards uniform.
don't forget the 2 reworking mercy. pretty sure that was in fact the most heinous crime in human history
