I'm sure it sounded like the rest.

who?

The free one just blows monkey nuts. Unlistenable. Wife downloaded it and I had to forcibly remove it from my music.

That's the problem when you have a guitarists that is a one tone gimmick and a singer that has no range, throw in recycled lyrics and you've got U2

U2

The most politicized band in history.

Maybe the Russians hacked into their album??

The first thing I discovered is that Bono has also praised the New Alliance, in a speech just before last year's G8 summit in the US. The second thing I discovered is that much of the ONE campaign's primary funding was provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, two of whose executives sit on its board. The foundation has been working with the biotech company Monsanto and the grain trading giant Cargill, and has a large Monsanto shareholding. Bill Gates has responded to claims made about land grabbing in Africa, asserting, in the face of devastating evidence and massive resistance from African farmers, that "many of those land deals are beneficial, and it would be too bad if some were held back because of western groups' ways of looking at things". (Africans, you will note, keep getting written out of this story.)

The third thing I discovered is that there's a long history here. In his brilliant and blistering book The Frontman: Bono (in the Name of Power), just released in the UK, the Irish scholar Harry Browne maintains that "for nearly three decades as a public figure, Bono has been … amplifying elite discourses, advocating ineffective solutions, patronising the poor and kissing the arses of the rich and powerful". His approach to Africa is "a slick mix of traditional missionary and commercial colonialism, in which the poor world exists as a task for the rich world to complete".

Bono, Browne charges, has become "the caring face of global technocracy", who, without any kind of mandate, has assumed the role of spokesperson for Africa, then used that role to provide "humanitarian cover" for western leaders. His positioning of the west as the saviour of Africa while failing to discuss the harm the G8 nations are doing has undermined campaigns for justice and accountability, while lending legitimacy to the neoliberal project.

Bono is blowhard corporate globalist shill. Who seriously gives that guy any credence?

Well, he's on the right side of history with this one.

jazz music says

ono said, in his performance, that the good people of America are not going to stay silent while Trump runs off with the American dream

All while bono serves as spokesman for disenfranchised people in Africa while being in pocket of bilderberger attendees

U2? I can never understand how a band becomes as famous as this with the incredibly wretched sound quality of their albums. They sound like they were mastered in a washing machine.

He's on the same side he's always been. Even a broken clock is 'right' sometimes

I have been on the edge of my seat wondering what U2 was going to do each & every second.

If you enjoy American media music or movies you are self dosing Globalist elitist scum Propaganda.

Try to remember that the next time you are chowing down on your $7.00 small bucket of Masanto GMO pop corn watching your $15 movie ticket movie.

And your itty bitty $9.00 3 ounce candy portion.

U2 also uses the Dutch-Irish sandwich tax avoidance scheme and pays no taxes.

disgusting. their gay, uh i mean good, friend Tim - Backdoor - Cook advised them.

Isn't that Bono cunt the citizen of Ireland? So what the fuck he has to do with PEOTUS?

Straw Man says

So what the fuck he has to do with PEOTUS?

He's one of those who insinuates himself into everything, an activist, aka a self-righteous busy-body.

Can’t disagree with that logic or sentiment, but….. hold on one minute, does the Irish-born musician, who has an estimated personal net worth of $600 million, just talk the talk, or does he also walk the walk, when it comes to his own tax affairs?

That’s a subject that came under the spotlight once again last month, after Bono defended Ireland’s corporate tax rate of 12.5%, claiming it’s brought the country “the only prosperity we’ve known.”

“We are a tiny little country, we don’t have scale, and our version of scale is to be innovative and to be clever, and tax competitiveness has brought our country the only prosperity we’ve known,” Bono said.

“That’s how we got these [tech] companies here. Little countries, we don’t have natural resources, we have to be able to attract people. We’ve been through the 50s and the 60s, and mass hemorrhaging of our population all over the world. There are more hospitals and firemen and teachers because of [Ireland’s tax] policy.”

However, one of the major workers’ unions in Ireland sees things rather differently to the musician.

“The one in four who suffer deprivation as well as the tens of thousands of others having to put up with six years of austerity will regard Bono’s remarks with total derision, it is the only word anyone could use to describe what he has said,” Unite spokesman and economist, Mike Taft, told the Guardian.

Total Neoliberal. Unlimited Immigration, Austerity, and Third World Worship for you, no taxes for me.

The fact that the speaker in the posted video in the OP thinks that Hillary Clinton is liberal completely discredits him.
