article link of the day (bono worshipers beware)













Another great read from Burnside Writer's Collective.

A couple
of (carefully chosen) excerpts:

"Bono is no longer a person. He has become a brand, like Disney or Nike or the Olson twins, he is no longer really human."


"Of course it doesn’t help that there is an ever expanding army of daft Christians out there ready to pounce on Bono’s every word and interpret it with eschatological zeal." (I liked this one because I just learned what eschatological means)

"It must be a scary thing to be so powerful, so godlike that no one worth listening to will ever disagree with you."


Go here. Read and enjoy. And please ignore the shot the writer takes at Dave Matthews. Father forgive her. She knows not what.


And does anyone else think Bono looks a little too much like Robin Willams? What i
f...? Nah. It couldn't be.
