  • The kid from Silverchair claims that he smoked pot with Bono, Peter Garrett, and his wife Natalie Imbruglia and people believe him?!

    I mean, the pot thing with Bono and the bald guy from Midnight Oil (that’s him, right?), no bother… but Kurt Cobain Jr. married Natalie Imbruglia?!

    Give us a break!

  • Oh my god! Bono listened to a Silverchair album? What a wanker! I’ve lost total respect for Bono. At least he smoked a joint to block out Silverchair and erase it from his memory, he gets respect for that.

  • Yeah right. So what’s next, Bono making a statement that he did smoke a joint, but didn’t inhale? Pahlease! ‘U2 are very anti-drugs’, yes, however, they are Irish, so alcohol, one of the most devastating harddrugs in the world, is consumed in large quantities. Stick to the grass, it’s probably healthier! Then again, I’m from Amsterdam…

  • I think the hoopla is mostly about Garrett’s involvement, as a politician.

  • As the lead singer of Anthrax once said about Silverchair: Just because they’re fifteen doesn’t give them the right to suck.

  • Daniel Johns made such a big mistake! He was wishing he was there smoking a joint with Bono, but come september, he’s gonna wanna take back that day.

  • Has anyone here actually listened to Silverchairs “Young Modern” Its an absolute classic, better that anything U2 has done since zoorapa.

    For a 27 year olds, they have a good back catelegue and have about 13 years of quality left in them.

  • “Zoorapa”? Is that the hiphop album Bono was going on about in the late 1990s?

    Better than Pop/ATYCLB/HTDAAB combined? That’s a matter of opinion, mate. By the way, you’re not Nick Launay are you? ;)

  • The Resource Miracle May 22, 2012
    [Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse."
