It's a disgusting practice, that someone needs to take action against

Paul Simon still breaks out in cold sweats over that lyric EDIT: You just said you agree with me about him ffs

Andres Brave Ping-pong wrote: » "He needs to pay his taxes" "Dodging tax *****" "Better if Bono paid his taxes" Unless I'm very wrong, Bono, Adam and Larry all live here so therefore, as residents of the country, they pay taxes. They just happen to base their business outside the country to pay a lower rate of tax. So, why the ridiculous ignorant remarks?

But FFS! People are entitled to like what they want. Just cause you or me have no interest in him, doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to play the big venues. I'm sure there are many with the same opinions about U2

I checked U2's Elevation lyrics though: A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation I and I In the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not sure a U2 fan has much of the moral high-ground here tbh.

ghostdancer wrote: » yep, probably lots of atrocious lyrics on those too. at least Ed Sheeran would be playing Croke Park off the back of new music, not fleecing fans on a nostalgia money-making exercise, possibly in cahoots with Seatwave....
Andres Brave Ping-pong wrote: » It's the lyrics to one of his songs. I know a lot about him. Forced to listen to his two albums, for months on end, to the point where I can tell you what notes he sings and in what bar of the song. He's utterly dreadful and I'm not afraid to say it. I can see the merit and attraction in all music that isn't rap, but he's a different kettle of fish
Andres Brave Ping-pong wrote: » Ah basically you hate U2 and love to have a good moan. Should probably **** off outta here tbh. Thread not going to do you much good Perhaps the Ed Sheeran thread would be more to your taste?
ghostdancer wrote: » nope, i'm going to see U2 in London. but your criticism of Ed Sheeran being unworthy to play in Croke Park is laughable nonsense really.
