What has happenned to U2's latest album? Was it stolen by a humanitarian thief, keen to spare the world the latest slab of drivel from a band that should have called it quits twenty years ago? Did Bono leave it on the bus after drifting into one of his regular daydreams in which he is president of the world?
The band, formed in the early eighties, comprising Bono, The Cake, Adam Woodyatt and a drummer have released almost two good albums. Another dozen or so have enjoyed huge commercial success which seems to have affected their Sanity. Former Mullet-haired frontman, Bono refuses to go anywhere without a pair of those special protective goggles that they make you wear on sunbeds. Meanwhile Guitarist, The Arse, real name Alan Buttocks, insists on only being photographed in his hat, which belonged to Benny out of Crossroads and for which he paid over 10,000 pounds at auction.
Bono also holds the unique record that he is the only living person to be photographed next to George W. Bush, while managing to look more of an arsehole than the President. He achieved this by doing an embarrassing "peace" gesture with his fingers while grinning to himself in a smug and self-satisfied manner.
