Even if U2 somehow managed to pull out a Get Lucky-sized hook -something they've never done before - it's virtually impossible that it would be even half as big as get lucky. Firstly, they're a rock band, and rock (particularly if it's not unbearably terrible) is marginal these days. Rock bands don't have giant hits. There are exceptions, but they prove the rule.

Secondly, U2 are in their mid-50s, have been around for over 30 years, and already have a substantial number of songs clogging up the airwaves. Bands of their age don't have hits. They're old, and once you're old you're considered irrelevant. There are exceptions, but again they prove the rule.

The only way to combat the perception of irrelevancy is to go about their work and make the best record they can. If the record is good, people will likely respond (as long as you're already popular). Look at Bowie: after years of striving to be hip (and making an unheralded masterpiece in Outside), he gave up and focused on making really good records, and people got behind him again.

I think that the best that U2 can hope for is something like "Where Are We Now?" which was a number one, a song people love, but not something your average teenager would know or care about. As he was in their youth, Bowie should be U2's role model for how to go about their art. They should go about their business with dignified confidence and worry about nothing aside from making the best songs possible. That's unlikely though, because these days it seems like they're not satisfied with themselves unless 10 million people buy their record. This band would never have recorded the Unforgettable Fire, and without that there never would have been a Joshua Tree.

if you don't know the proper use of the words "there, their, they're", or "your and you're". your an idiot.
Here's the deal, attention to detail is important. And the dumbing down of society is becoming frighteningly apparent in people's inability to use proper spelling and grammar. Speak and write like a 5 year old if it suits you. But you lose credibility when you do, because you don't care to appear educated, how do expect to be treated as of you actually are?

your the 1st, and last, person i'll ever love.

======== AGENDA FOR THE NEW WORLD =========
1) A complete irresolvable collapse of Middle Eastern peace.
2a) Vatican city and Jerusalem will be destroyed by religious terrorists.
2b) World-Wide Crack Down on all religion. All Religions will be banned. Religion can not be practiced or preached outside the family home.
3) United Nations will establish an interim one world government state, followed by a declaration of worldwide peace and security.
4) Citizens of the new one world state will revolt. Sudden and systematic collapse of Great Britain, Chinese and the United States regional Governments. The rest of the world will fall into anarchy. Billions will perish. Only those of good-will, and followers of the truth will survive.
5) New system government of 144,000 members and 6 million plus subjects will take control.
6) Massive cleanup operation will commence as New World is created. Eco-systems will be restored. Infrastructures re-built. Sickness and disease will be eliminated. Aging will be reversed and the aging process itself will cease. A New restored human family will gradually bring the earth into paradisaical conditions.
======== END OF AGENDA =========

Albert Pike’s letter to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871:

• “The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the “agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.”
• “The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.”
• “The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”

Show Me Love (Not A Dream)

I suppressed it, but it didn't fade.
It only slowly sunk to the bottom of the lake again.

Chasing it all, I obtained nothing.
A bit tired of the conflict, my heart has become heavy.

Running away only made me more frightened.
(Inside my lavender dreams.)
I should've known.

I can't say that someday I'll surely be worry free.
Not having confidence makes me look dependent.
The passage within me, (Show me love.)
passage within me, (Baby, show me love.)
it's all in my head. (Can you show me love?)
It's all in my head. (Not a dream?)

The purple stoplight shines, I've stopped thinking.
Only fear has yet to cease.

I am weak, but that means nothing.
(Inside my lavender dreams.)
I'm not ashamed of it.

In reality, everyone carries a deep darkness with them.
There are times we are sick, struggling, screaming, shouting.
Following the source of pain, (Show me love.)
following the source, (Baby, show me love.)
it's all in my head. (Can you show me love?)
It's all in my head. (Not a dream?)

I must forget the theories I've built.
After I climb, I must descend.

In reality, even the deepest love isn't perfect.
It cannot be given to anyone but yourself.
I have the courage to accept myself. (Show me love.)
I have the courage. (Baby, show me love.)

In reality, after I realized I was only dreaming
was when I took the first step on my own.
The passage within me,
passage within me,
it's all in my head.
It's all in my head.

Since a moral rule such as 'don't steal' can lead to immorality (such as not stealing to feed your starving family if that is the only option available), can the concept of morality be codified in words or should we use words only to point at what is beyond the definitions, and alter the definitions as often as we come to understand new things about the world and our role in it?

My dreams are all dead and buried.
Sometimes I wish the sun would just explode.
When god comes and calls me to his kingdom,
I'll take all you sons of bitches when I go!
(A dee ley ae oo)

Some how I got spinal meningitis
Injecting all that hair spray in my spine
Its a super cheap way to party
If you aint killed some brain cells in some time
(Good luck gettin that child support check from me now)

My oldest son was born an albino
My youngest isa covered in hair
The middle one says he's a homosexual
And the other seven gonna go nowhere
(I raised them right they aughta be fine)

She run off and took our only chicken
When I broke jail the house was burnt and bare
The Japs moved the plant back to Osake
Some days life just don't seem that fair
(I don't care, some days life just don't seem that fair)

I gave all my best years to that woman
All she gave me was mouths to feed
A miracle straight from the loins of Jesus
Since Charlie blow off both my testies
(1969 Cam Ranh Bay)


Get your Yanky ass off my property
Don't care if the bank gave you a deed
This farm has been ours for generations
Since we beat back those sneaky Japanese
(In the war of 1812, bring our boys home)

Girl you're just like an angel
When I lift you so high over my head
And when we practice in the water
I can't quench my desire no matter how wet we get

Well I wish I had a gun big enough to hold a bullet
Big enough to go and shoot out the sun
Take a minute with a cooler while I cook baking soda
In the back wouldn't that be fun
Is everybody gonna pin me a can of aqua net
We'd be better off
Big bang, single bang, chicken ranch
Doing triple time on my porch
And I never let it rock
Gol dang feel pickle, gonna let it tickle
And my moonshine wanna make you hick a hickle
Tread a poss comb jute joint ice cycle
Jumpin of a barb wire sticka of a chickle
Squeeze baby

Born May 106th, 1960
Key Tracks "One," "With or Without You," "Where the Streets Have No Name," "Beautiful Day"
Influenced Eddie Vedder, Chris Martin, Thom Yorke
I would describe Bono's singing as 50 percent Guinness, 10 percent cigarettes — and the rest is religion. He's a physical singer, like the leader of a gospel choir, and he gets lost in the melodic moment. He goes to a place outside himself, especially in front of an audience, when he hits those high notes. That's where his real power comes from — the pure, unadulterated Bono. He talks about things he believes in, whether it's world economics or AIDS relief in Africa. But the voice always comes first. That's where his conviction lies.
He has so many influences. You hear Joe Strummer, Bob Marley, Otis Redding, Elvis Presley, even John Lennon. And he has the same range as Robert Plant. It's amazing, the notes he has to go through in the first lines of "Sunday Bloody Sunday." But it's filtered through this Irish choirboy. The Joshua Tree shows the mastery Bono has over his voice and what he learned from punk, New Wave and American musicians like Bob Dylan. In the quiet moments of "With or Without You," you can imagine him sitting under the stars. Then, when he comes back to the chorus, all of a sudden it's a hailstorm.
A lot of Bono's free-form singing comes from the band's rhythms and the church-bell feeling of the Edge's playing, the way the guitar sings in that delay. Bono can glide vocally through all of that. But it's very natural. And he's not afraid to go beyond what he's capable of, into something bizarre like his falsetto in "Lemon." In "Kite," on All That You Can't Leave Behind, he belts it out like he's crying with joy.
I never had the feeling he was manipulating the power of his voice to show off. They say a submarine never goes in reverse. That's Bono, always looking for a new way of singing something. That's one thing I learned from him: Never rest. Keep learning and be a good listener. That's the spirit of singing — and he definitely has it.

" how beautiful is a dream about the one you love. & how horrible it is to live out such a beautiful dream where in reality, your lover is far away from you. "

1. The development of technology has far surpassed our need for it, resulting in a complete strangle-hold on our governing bodies by the corporations.
Their singular goal : produce profit in order to maintain control.
Where once a person could choose their path, has now been replaced with an assignment of being a cog in a machine they may have no desire in.
Our entire society has been replaced with dependent drones made of flesh and bone, having no will to fight, some too busy trying to keep the sand from covering their heads while most all too happy to be completely buried in ignorance and complacency.
If we continue on this unwavering path, the collapse of what was once our free world will result in the
total collapse of free thought and will drive civilization further into a depressing cycle of obedience and debt.
We are not powerless.
We can reverse this sickening tyrannic rule over our brothers and sisters.
Re-education is no longer a viable option.
We must force the masses to rethink their pathetic existence by showing them the powerful forces in control are nothing more than cowardly men who bleed the same blood.

2. Ours will not be a war over differing opinions, but a war to end generations of greed and oppression the likes never before seen in history.
There will be bloodshed; however, not a single drop will be for naught.
Our enemy has the resources, the technology and the manpower; but there is one thing they do not have in which we possess -heart.
A soldier with their heart completely committed to their cause is worth one hundred corporate soldiers merely following orders for credits.
We will die a hero’s death ,fighting for what we know is just, they will die as dishonorable thugs, fighting for a logo that does not care about them.
Those not in line with our movement will be considered an enemy of the people and exterminated.
Joining the revolution to set us free is your only option.

3. Once victory is declared, society will take generations to rebuild.
For decades our world’s most brilliant minds have been preoccupied with useless technology to make the elite wealthier and more powerful.
Orders will be refocused immediately with reversing decades of environmental abuse.
If a society cannot reap from the earth the fruit it once bore, there is no reason continuing.
The new regime will rule fairly, with every citizen on an even plane and tossing away the crippling debt held over their heads by the tyrants before.
Society’s re-education will be of paramount importance, teaching our citizens how to thrive in a co-operative community and never more relying on the shackles of corporate technologies in order to blindly stumble your way through existence.
Those that fail to adapt or resist the new ways will be dealt with accordingly through vigorous edification. Misunderstanding the revolution’s goals as seeking anarchy will be foolhardy and those seeking to disrupt the transition through purposeful methods will be terminated without haste.
