Wot no Britney Pink iPod?

I say good on Apple and good on U2. Like minded individuals who think different and push the boundaries.

I am from Dublin, I’ve vomited in Bono and Ali’s swimming pool, and I can honestly tell you the music they play is just endlessly recycled #####.

I’ve been tlaking to my friends about u2 at my highschool. Almost all say they hate u2. I ask them why, I can’t understand at all why they would think that. The reason why in the words of my friend cole, “they just seem like crappy pop. I’ve only heard a few songs on the radio.” I can understand that (almost). If you want a better view of u2, check out atchung baby, not just the singles on joshua tree.

Does anyone think that Apple will simply us U2 to not only launch the special edition iPod, but to announce the 60GB, color screen version? Most companies don’t trot out big name celebs/bands just to promote a product that only a handful of fans would buy. For example - Queen Latifah was at a big event last week for the launch of the new MS Windows XP Media Center Edition and tied into her new movie and album. I’m guessing that’s what’s gonna happen next week w/Apple and U2.

Whatever happened to Jeremy’s policy of not posting rumors? Lame.

> what were you doing at bono’s house?

Dublin’s a small place, and some people I know went to Mount Temple School along with the boys a long time ago.

We went for the free food. We stayed for the waiter-service cocktails. Until it all proved a little too much…

“i am from boston and like seafood. gee, i guess i’m not as qualified as you are to comment on u2.”

You got that right Mr Scampi.

Yea, U2 are a couple of nice guys, so I hear.  My friend has been one of their biggest fans for a long time and they often invite her to their post-concert parties.

Cool. I still disagree about their music though. I met the band after a gig in Tulsa Oklahoma back in 1983. U2 and Thin Lizzy are my all time favorites and both hail from Dublin. Gotta love the Irish. Hell, Notre Dame is my favorite college football team.

bhoward43, I have to agree with you 100%. I would LOVE to see a tie-dye Phish iPod…

Seriously though, to be able to fill an entire iPod is quite a feat, and they definitely deserve it. They are essentially the Grateful Dead for the next generation.

I would say it’s a shame that they finally broke up, but I think it was time…
