Whilst Bono continues to push for the cancellation of third world debt, we present to you the latest range of Pharmaceutical product that will hopefully give the neccessary help to those in need.

THE ONLY WAY IS UP

Excuse the bad ’80s ‘Yazz’ reference in the title but according to this week’s edition of Melbourne’s Hit Magazine, from the Herald Sun, we could be faced with alot more U2 in the year to come. Firstly with the Australian charts as ‘All That You Can’t Leave Behind’ this week continues to climb, jumping from 19 to 13.

There’s also the following caption, “A second U2 Best of (1990-2000) will be a big album for Christmas, with two new songs, and there’s also talk of another studio album. Which might also come out later this year. U2 overload!”

THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH

Twenty years ago the boys self admittedly couldn’t even play their instruments. The musical kind that is. Now Gibson have just announced the nominees for their annual geetar awards and whaddya know, U2 have been nominated in three categories. Best Guitar band, Best Rock Guitarist and Best Bassist.

Over at The Sydney Morning Herald we find yet even more criticism of Bono and his constant efforts to make the world a better place.

For example, there is another middle-aged gentleman in his band who has worn a black beanie for nigh on three decades and insists on being known as “Edge”, even though his name is probably Malcolm or Dennis.

HAIRDO

EAT YOUR WHEATIES

Edge’s guitar hurling antics in the Boston DVD seemed a little out of character yes? Well, the folk over at @U2 provide us with an explanation that we find rather amuzing. It’s all because of Bono’s choice of breakfast cereal you see. Thus teaching us all an important lesson. Always eat your wheaties kiddies.

Superpic

Flicking through a gallery of Superbowl photos over at the LAtimes we find a nice little pic of our man admist of sea of people. We wonder how long Bono can keep this pose up before he actually falls backwards?

No. 40.

Australia’s Triple J have once again held their annual Hottest 100 countdown with tunes as voted by the general public. This year U2 only managed to elevate into the 40th position.
