OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTORS
Netscape.co.uk report on the upcoming Brit Awards, and dedicate a page to U2’s Outstanding Contribution award. It’s not very flattering: These days Bono and crew are keen to get back into the charts and prove their iconic status and this outstanding achievement award will seriously improve their chances. Hopefully they will then put the greatest hits on repeat, leave the room quietly and retire.
[ update: the article in question has since been rewritten and presents a more positive view on the band. The U2log.com team denies ANY involvement in the circumstances that lead to this rewrite. Muwahahahahahaha. ]

Could it be Mr The Edge was tipped off beforehand. It’s more likely he was just feeling confident about winning 3 little statue thingies. Either way his choice of t-shirt for the night says it all.

BONO ON BILLY Rhythm of
BONO ON BILLY
Rhythm of Life Records have a message from Bono concerning the wonderful Billy MacKenzie (ex-Associates, who died a few years ago), who – he says – reminded him of the ‘similarly persecuted’ Gavin Friday. This piece also featured in a book on Billy by Tom Doyle.
We would recommend Billy’s posthumous release “Beyond the Sun” to anyone… but perhaps you have to be on the histrionic side to appreciate it.
LYRICS FROM B’S NOTEBOOK Caught
LYRICS FROM B’S NOTEBOOK
Caught by our reader Herbert Alvarado, these are lyrics that appeared on screen in last night’s 60 Minutes II:
out of range out of st????
off the wagon on the smokes
off the canvas on the ropes
out of sorts out of smoke
out of laughter fear of jokes
out of range of where you thought you might be
Daddy go home
out of me out of you
out of reach of rescue
out of the reasons that I left you
out of smokes out of jokes
out of punches on the ropes
out of look out of time
?????? at the end of the line
