Perhaps there should be more of U2 out there as they are so fresh and cutting edge ?
Bono doesn't seem to see what a knob he sounds like, talking about rock'n'roll like he'd know anything about what rock'n'roll is these days.
He says it's about an outlet for anger? Eddie Vedder has "that rage"? Hmmm well where are Pearl Jam these days anyways? I haven't seen a new Pearl Jam record in about the last 4 or 5 years? Lightning Bolt was released in errr 2013? Oh and it wasn't that good. It certainly wasn't very "rage-y" (that's a technical term now). Not compared to their other stuff, at least.
I have this little inkling that Bono may have been living under a rock for some time, and he pops out for a brief look around, right around Christmas/New Year, or when U2 releases a new album.
Incidentally, I've been picking up old/older U2 stuff lately. I just recently got POP, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, The Joshua Tree, All That You Can't Leave Behind... I also have Songs of Innocence.
Yes, there's some good stuff there, but Joshua Tree was the peak. That's when U2 was a great mainstream rock band, and innovative at that. Now, I've not listened to ...Experience in its entirety yet but I am certainly not rushing out to do so on the back of No Line.../...Innocence.
The man's an arse ...
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I love that documentary. It's called You See Me Laughing isn't it?
As a rock star on his level of popularity and wealth, you can guarantee he has little or no contact with the "real world" any more.
There is a famous story about someone (I forget who) who was making a documentary about Prince. They went to his house and were asked to give a talk to the fans clustered outside on Prince's quirky religious beliefs. The film-make in question refused, and Prince's publicist told him Prince didn't live in the real world, but had lived in a bubble built around him since the 80s. If the documentary was to go ahead, he had to live in Prince's world, not the real one. The documentary never got made.
Other super-rich individuals are the same, it is one of the reasons why Twitter provides so many hilarious gaffes, because it is amongst the first times the super-rich-and-famous have regularly communicated personally outside the bubble.

Sums up the celeb bubble rather well, the funniest thing is it never bursts. We just love putting people on pedestals.
