It's somewhat humorous at times but still makes you think, OK because why?

Truly I Say To You Today That Bono Is An Asswipe

At the intersection of all the annoying things a rock star can be—messianic, pretentious, vapid, dumb, old, creatively bankrupt, grandiose, utterly bereft of self-awareness, calcified into a grotesque oily wire-rack-in-the-grocery-store knockoff of himself, part of U2, et cetera—there sits Bono in his stupid housefly glasses, playing with his ****.

And the hits just keep on coming.
 
Hipster bitching about how passé and played out Bono is, has been passé and played out for 30 ******* years now.

However, just as I'm wiping my ass with that first article, I click on the link below and the dude blasts it clear out of Yankee Stadium with the greatest take ever on the Batman v. Superman debate, including a world-class ass kicking of the historically overrated "Dark Knight Rerurns."

Batman Is A Corny Dingus, And Superman Should Whomp His Ass
 
My stars [clutches pearls], a Gawker writer wrote something snarky and needlessly mean!

My favorite line I've heard about U2 is that there is a guy in the band who calls himself The Edge and he's not even considered the pretentious douchebag of the group.
 
Repetitiveness generally isn’t all that grave a crime in pop music. For example, literally every song the Red Hot Chili Peppers have ever recorded is just Anthony Kiedis saying “Llama gamma busy hella fizzy California” over the opening credits music from The Cosby Show, and they’ve been doing it for over 30 years and nobody cares.

Admittedly, this is pretty good.
 
I saw U2 last week at MSG and during the show we noticed that there was a guy shadowing The Edge's every move as he walked back and forth along the stage, which ran down the middle of the floor area. Couldn't quite figure out why this guy was there and only for The Edge, but read later that the guy was a spotter and had been hired after The Edge lost his bearings and fell off the stage early in the tour. Show was good, The Edge lived.
