J really makes me laugh. I've known him on the Wire for years, and I can't remember him once posting something positive

Being a fan since 1983 is not being a newbie to me. If you see it that way, then I'm even smoother than a babyface.

Is Headache going to go there?
The Edge said:Friend Jick,
I have been watching this conversation. You are seeking attention via the lit dynamite stick. I see it well. Terrorists use the same tactics to try to create chaos and mayhem. These fine people engage in peaceful and light hearted conversation. You make some show their teeth.
You can dislike U2's new single or say my playing is rubbish, do you think I really give a fig? I know what work went into the LP and Vertigo in particular. Layers of sounds, three hundred takes, If I borrow any "licks" they would be from the Clash or, at best the Ramones. U2 sprang from punk rock. We are still punk rock. We can play anything we want to play or..not play at all if we dont want to. My problem is this: Dont light the fuse of a bomb and then hand that bomb to my good friends and then walk off...stay around and see the results. Better yet...dont light that fuse, put the bomb in your pocket and walk off. I want you to be happy. If you cant, dont spread that disease called "hate" We've far too much that in this world today!

bonosgirl84 said:i am in no way defending jick with what i am about to say. i have seen plenty of jick's posts. but then it occurs to me, has the edge? why the sudden singling out of jick? and why, WHY does he compare jick's posting style to terrorism?
that kind of comparison would have drawn flames from the posters a reprimand from a mod elsewhere on this board, not the cheers and applause it received here.
i'm just confused.
like joyfulgirl, i think need a drink.

I know that it gets a bit tricky
Uh... 'cause we're restless
We're restless folks, aren't we The Edge
Looking for new sounds, new feelings, new colours, you know
If we... If it keeps us interested
Then its not going to be bullshit for you
What's spanish for bullshit?" - Bono, Popmart in Mexico City
