POPULARITY AWARDS

I hear it's a fucking gas to win one. Wouldn't know. What I do know is U2 won album of the year at the Grammys against a field of popular and exciting whores and thugs. And for a piece of work that is astounding in that it is the peak of their game, whatever you rate that game. And a work riven with Catholic, Christian, imagery. Go figure. No Piss Christ, no Islamist beheadings, no bullwhips up the ass to sell this piece of art.

Figure, though: when one puts out their best work at 47 instead of 27 years of age that is pause for consideration, at least in the rock and roll world.

My hat is off to the Irish poseurs. And, yeah, I fucking love that album, my internalized rage at Bono for stealing the Velocivibe notwithstanding.

But you are SOOOO much better looking than Bono!

I won one in 1976..back when they still used real wood for the base. I had it in my hands less than two minutes when a couple of grams materialized in the bell. Had to use the barell of a pen cause a dollar bill wasn't long enough.

I fucking hate that fucking fucker. On SO many levels. With so many plane crashes in the world, why can't his?

U2 records are like buying a jar of Jiff Peanut butter. You know what to expect. Bono and his mates make very good peanut butter if that's what you like.

Which reminds me...using corn oil as an anal lubricant (on a woman, dammit!) can cause a disturbing craving for popcorn, as friction heats it up. I am afraid to think what kind of reaction peanut oil would cause.
