05.02.09Buy Flonase Without PrescriptionEmbedded video from CNN Video Here's the full 38 minute interview that Bono did with George Clooney for the Time 100/AC360 Special: The World's Most Influential People. In between some frankly eye-roll-worthy bits of mutual [ comedy pause ] admiration, there's good stuff about Clooney's work in Darfur and Bono's lasting influence on celebrity do-good-ery in the 00's. Time Magazine has also published a piece on Clooney written by Bono in which he states: "George Clooney is a dangerous man. He needs to be watched... to be monitored... He's a new kind of American radical... a post-'60s, post-obvious, post-postmodern radical, not the left-leaning ...

04.15.09Avodart Without A PrescriptionVote for this video by watching it at least 50% and clicking on thumbs up (mouseover the video) The second single from No Line On The Horizon, Magnificent, will be released on May 4th. There will be a promo video for it, shot in Morocco. This is a live version, filmed at The Somerville Theatre in Boston. You know, it would be nice if U2.com allowed embedding of their videos. This is the '00's, maaaan. Also, for the suits: embedding is a powerful branding tool. And we didn't have to show this blurry rip.

The Edge told Berklee's graduating class: "The thing I want to say is collaborate. Collaborating with talented people is not easy, but it's the way to really shine – you shine brighter if you are working with really great people. The important thing in the end is not that you are proved right every time, the important thing is that the music is the best that it can be. I want to wish you all that you would find your ...

05.04.07Holey moley, U2 in 'worst lyrics ever' chartU2's 'mole' has made it into the BBC 6 worst lyrics chart after a public vote. Sitting uncomfortably at #10 in this dubious list, among clunkers by Snap, Black Sabbath and Toto, are the following lines from Elevation: "I've got no self control, Been living like a mole now, Going down, excavation, High and high in the sky, You make me feel like I can fly, So high, Elevation" I can't say I object. What are your worst-U2-lyrics-ever picks?

05.02.07Sanjaya vs BonoTime magazine have listed 200 candidates for their 'Most Influential People of the Year' award and you, the slightly less influential masses, have been voting for your favourites. So far, so good. To our great distress, we see that Idol reject/teen sensation Sanjaya Malakar (at #6) is beating Bono (#9) by more than 100,000 votes. This simply won't do. So if y'all could just go over to Bono's profile, drag the slide all the way to the right until it says '100' and click submit, please? Looks like voting's been stopped.
