u2?

hi to everyone,

i'm sorry if this is a repost, but i can't find anything similar. I was reading mr. eavis statement confirming bruce springsteen as an headliner and i noticed this sentence: "He’s also a Barack Obama supporter, which makes two headliners in a row who’ve backed the new President". Now: i know that neil young is an anti-bush and a democrat, but i don't remember he backed obama during his campaign...could it be that mr. eavis is talking bout u2? i mean, they got a new album too...

ciao,

antonio

no.

i think he's refering to his main man Jay-Z

making 2 saturday headliners in a row

[Amlo4ka]

tbh...i think most people were obama supporters. Or atleast over half of all american bands (statistically)

[PAH030]

It's alright, I was thinking the same. It would blinding If U2 were to play.

I know! "We've had two years in a row of Obama supporters!"

Really?? No shit sherlock. I think its slightly longer than two years. When was the last time a neo-conservative republican headlined glastonbury?

[Aragorn]

it wouldn't

I like Joshua Tree, and also Unforgettable Fire. Mostly the Brian Eno stuff.

[Bluearsedfly]

New album is crackin.

I've only heard the single "Kinky boots".

I reminds me of sub-terrenean homesick blues by he whose name can only be mentioned in whispers.

PLEASEEE dont compare u2's piece of shit new single to one of dylans (imo) best songs.

the u2 song is a marilyn manson rip-off, cant remember what song though, but it was posted in another festival section.

its not a quality thing, its the way bono's ripped off the lyrical scan.

mobscene by m.manson is the other tune its ripping off (i thinK)

[the_hedge]

Get On Your Boots has also been linked to an Elvis Costello song, cant remember which one.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's like a Dylan song - Bono and Dylan have spent a lot of time together over the years.
