Now you absolutely know that's not true.

I can't speak for anyone else, but generally I'm not sure if a "lazy" criticism is always a wrong one. I haven't spent years honing a nuanced opinion of Bono because I haven't needed to.

See? It wasn't that hard.

Bono's a good guy

I never said he wasn't a good guy.

I used to have a lot of bad things to say about Bono. He's not someone I'd want to hang out with, and I can't stand his band, but he isn't so bad that I feel the need to talk shit on him on an internet forum.

Yeah let's all turn on Harmless now!

Shut up you colossal bellend.

Edge on the other hand though...everyone in Malibu wants to kill him

You really like that word huh

Did you learn it recently, or?

I'm thinking of leaving the forum, but not until I can think of a GD-worthy title for my leaving thread.

RIP Lou

@Jorge: Nope. It dances on the border between overly crass and adequately offensive, thus my usage of late.

So Bono died?

He left behind a 8000-word essay about himself. It's running on next month's Rolling Stone.

Pitchfork will review the artistic merits of his death.

I loved Mambo #5...RIP

Here are some memories of my experience with Lou:

I saw him in 2000, around that time, i think a week before i was supposed to see PJ playing with Sonic Youth. They didnt came but SY did ( with sean lennon) and they gave and absolute marvelous concert. Blown me away.
I was already a pretty good Reed fan, because Ecstasy came out that year and i loved it. I also loved Set the twilight reeling, a record that everybody seemed to hate at the time.
He played a small theatre in Buenos Aires, i went there not knowing what to expect really...i didnt use internet at the time to see what he was playing and all i knew was that Lou´s behavior onstage was random at best.

Well, he treat us good.....the crowd went nuts for most of the show, he even did a little tai chi during one of the Ecstasy songs and a pretty unconventional second encore; Perfect Day and Walk on the wild side. He seemed very happy and humble with the crowd response during the show. I still have the program and ticket for that night and the awesome memory of see him in a very very good moment.

He'll have to induct himself into some hall of whatever posthumously. No one else is up to the task. I'm sure he's got something prepared already, and a donation of another $5 million to needy African children...dick.
