Music keeps me sane

SOF and I seem to be some of the last to start listening to Coldplay. But we are enjoying it. Listening to the most recent album, SOF made the connection to U2, and I agree. Not sure it is as good as U2's best--which is damn ass hell good. But this is good.

Speaking of U2, I was reminded that John Gibson (of Faux News) needs a major kick in the junk. While he was belittling Tony Blair for caring about the Africans instead of encouraging his fellow Britains to pull out the fingernails of every Arab they saw, he was also mocking Bono. Bono is mockable, don't get me wrong. He has worn those same sunglasses for 20 years. But what a voice! And Gibson was mocking him for his concern for Africa and developing nations--because he was a rock star and unelected. That's right, he was mocking a rock star for caring about something other than getting laid and adoring fans. Here is someone, who say what you will, has spent a lot of time addressing needs. He doesn't have to.

By all means, let us mock the faux celebrities. The Paris Hiltons and the Britney Spears are worthless. Their fame is their thing. But not only has Bono and U2 given us some of the best music of the 80s, he has actually tried to help people around him.

What has fat-ass John Gibson done?
