A weird balance

skeletors_jockstrap [Edit] [Delete] 05:11, 6 February '10

If U2 play their current set at Glasto, it's safe to say the cynics will gobble up the results like a gang of mildly starved turkeys.

Songs like Magnificent, Beautiful Day and, well, all those other "humanitarian" ones will have bellies wobbling with smugness. Ho ho ho! Pompous? Tick. Everyman? Hell yes! Earnest anthems? Look, just tick that fucking box buddy.

But whooah. If they played from the sci-fi gothic rock/techno angle:

MOFO
THE FLY
HOLD ME THRILL ME KISS ME KILL ME
EXIT

...I think I could be sold. Not that they will. So I may as well shut up. Cough
