From news reports:
Legendary rock band U2 seems set to collaborate with the infamous 'bad boy 4 life' Sean Puffy Combs, aka P. Diddy. In an interview yesterday evening, The Edge explained: "Yes, when P. Diddy called, we thought this was a offer we couldn't refuse. It's a chance to explore a new sound, new ground for us." Edge smiled as he pulled his new rap style hat down over his ears, and pulled his baggy pants down over his new basketball shoes. "You see, we've been reading so much criticism on Interference.com about our last two albums, and how old and slow we are, we had to do something to shake up our image and sound."
But, Edge, the interviewer asked, are you willing to let a small handful of disgruntled fans who constantly complain determine the course of the band. Edge sighed. "Apparently we are no longer capable of that ourselves, so yes. We know that those fans on Interference must be the greatest and most knowedgeabe fans on earth, since they spend most of their lives discussing us on the computer." Does Edge think this will "fly?'
"I think so!" Bono chimed, playing with the huge, heavy gold chain around his neck, his hair in cornrows. "This will really surprise our fans! If they want to bitch about us, we'll show them how relevant we can really be!" Bono says he is looking forward to incorporating the new material into the next tour, and how they are going to add dancers, backup rappers and a scratching DJ. The set will be very rap. Eminem will open for them on all dates, and P. Diddy will join them at center stage for the main set halfway through the show.
"This is what U2 is all about" says Edge. "We are going to abandon all the old songs and only do this. When asked if he thought this would be a successful album and tour, he told us that he knew everyone on Interference would buy tickets, since some of them complain so much about the last two records they will love this, and others on the site are such followers they will love us regardless. Good Edge, you can count on about 50-100 fans then, and I hope they follow you from city to city sleeping on the sidewalk like last time.
The new U2/P.Diddy work will hit airwaves later this year, and a tour is planned for next summer.
