Hi all~ I heard there is a new CD ‘Greatest Irish Band’. It has music from U2, Sinead O’Connor and the Cranberries. By working at universal I heard, the CD has a bonus DVD ‘Slighting of Bono’. I am playing the music now and I love it. ~ check it out.

They’re embarassing drunken asshoughz.
U2 is a superb band instrumentally, but they’ve got to dump that “Bono” masochist jerk who writes those stupid songs and produces those embarassing videos and invited Johnny (Trash) Cash to sing on 1 of their albums.
What about “Dropkick Murphys? Aren’t they Irish enough? They’re even hillarious. Their the best.
The Pogues are rogues and don’t even come close. It’s time to put out their miserable lights.

U2? puh-leeze...

Paul "Bono" Hewson is nothing more than a fuckin' race traitor -- and Bono is U2.

We should welcome refugees with open arms, says Bono
By Paul Melia

REFUGEES to Ireland seeking asylum should be greeted with open arms, rock band U2's frontman Bono said this weekend at a ceremony to award the band the Freedom of Dublin.

In his acceptance speech at the open-air ceremony in the recently refurbished Smithfield Square, he called on people of Dublin and Ireland to welcome refugees seeking asylum, as "we were once refugees ourselves."

"We come from a race of refugees ourselves," he said, "and it is now time for us to welcome refugees seeking a better life with open arms."

WITHOUT INTERFERENCE

In his speech he added that people should be afforded the freedom to live their lives as they chose, without interference.

Thousands of the band's fans thronged Dublin's Smithfield this weekend to see the band and their manager Paul McGuinness receive the freedom of the city along with Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The band members: Bono, Larry Mullen Jnr, Edge and Adam Clayton, were awarded the city's highest honour along with their manager Paul McGuinness, for their service to the city of Dublin and their tireless charity work on behalf of Amnesty International, Greenpeace and the Jubilee 2000 campaign which aims to eradicate third-world debt.

KLM, Sorry for getting so upitty with you. I had had a few beers and wasn't in the mood for one of my favorite bands being slammed. Um, Dropkick Murphy's as far as I know are yanks. If they are Irish then so am I on account of Celt Blood. About the Punk reference.......I was just speaking about how the Pogues fused punk w/ the whole Irish thing.

Cheers!

DKM is good, but they are more punk than Irish.

The Pogues; however, ARE the kings of Irish music, IMO.

I see your point. Funny, but when I think "Yank" I think of a white man. Niggers will always be Monkeys and Jews huge beaked bastards. Anyway, A beer sounds good right about now.

Cheers!
