[Closed] New U2 Album / ITunes ??

No such thing as good or bad music? Pish, tosh and balderdash.

The Brandenburg Concertos are infinitely superior to anything that U2 / Black Lace etc have come up with.

I ask you - what are the youth of today thinking of?

Have you HEARD the Black Lace version of "Wig-Wam Bam"?!?

That, my son is a post-modern freeform deconstruction of the birth of feminism in Native American Culture.

Your actual Longfellow, innit?

Not heard, don't plan to, dear boy.

Pulls up drawbridge, preventing access to my moral high ground.

What the shitting hell are you on about? Totally irrelevant to everything said in this thread.
I know i know, should have ignored it!!

The point I was [i]trying[/i] to make was that the amount of fuss that some people were kicking up you'd think it was the worst possible thing that had ever happened in their entire lives, and in order to get a sense of perspective talking to people who really [i]did[/i] have real-world problems might get them to shut up and stop whining!
It wasn't so much directed at people on here as towards those on some other fora I've seen; the level of ranting over something given away for free is truly mind-boggling, and really does engender a deep desire to take some people outside and slap them hard a few times.
Sorry if I didn't make my point clearly enough, I have family with real health issues that puts such stupidity into its proper perspective, and I do get more than a little vexed reading such bullshit.

It's a tactic called whataboutism or whataboutery ("but what about...?") and is usually employed by diplomats from Russia and Israel. And my mother-in-law.

I did mine earlier, took the link form the BBC website.
Follow the link, it asks if you want to remove the album, sign in to iTunes, click remove. Sign out and back in to iTunes and it's gawn.

Like it. You can't complain about [u]anything[/u] because there's always someone with a more serious problem!

Oh do stop moaning, Dez. There's people with [b][u]stubbed[/u][/b] toes in the world, who'd love to have your problems.

[i]subbed toes[/i]

Does that come with barbeque sauce?

History repeating...

😆 Brilliant! At least War was a decent album 🙂

Achtung Baby was in my opinion the last good thing they did. I won't be getting my knickers in a twist about a free album though 😉
