bah, Erik Pedersen is just pissed that Bono didn't want to sign his Achtung Baby tour shirt after the show.

I rarely pay much attention to reviews anymore since it became apparent to me that they are mostly written by early twenty-somethings that know fuck all about anything.

And you think Radcliffe's bad - just wait till I'm 45!

i've never been real clear why people do live reviews. generally, i'd rather waste my time reading an album review... the live portion review could just be like, yeh, they rocked or, yeh my head was flopped back due to the depth of my sleep.

Y'know, in 15 - 20 years time the Obnerati should e-reconvene. First thread title: Holy fuck, Radcliffe used to show a lot of restraint and open-mindedness.

Seriously, I'm looking forward to that next generation coming along, absolutely certain that they know everything there is to know, and they'll think the Beatles, the Flaming Lips, and Radiohead are overrated bands from the same era, and they'll never have heard a note of Yo La Tengo, GBV, or Arcade Fire and they'll just roll their eyes whenever some old asshat mentions them. That shit is gonna be funny.
