Okay fine. I guess you belong with the rest of the people who belive
everything the media says. My personal view of the media is that they
are always the first to twist the facts. Pardon me if my views on
media are wrong.

Have you spoken to Adam that he solved it? Or is it just from another
"reliable" media source? Oh I am sorry, I just realized you used the
word "seems" so i guess whatever statement you made above would have
no conclusive basis.

What mailing list do you belong to? Isn't this the same mailing list
that had lengthy discussions on the "skag-head" issue which is
non-music related? Isn't this the same mailing list that is offering
(in my opinion only) great, nice looking Santa Bono greeting cards?
Please don't make it sound like I'm the only one not talking about the
music. You are being unfair to me.

Wow! Your comments are bordering on defamatory by your using the words
"ridiculous" and "poor taste" addressed to me. What is your problem?
My post is constitutionally protected since it is merely an exercise
of my freedom of expression, a right which cannot be abridged.
The law has been more lax in a public figure's right to privacy simply
because it is the nature of his function as a public figure to be
subject to public interest. Bono is a public figure. And if anyone
has the right to question my comments and twisted interpretations of
interviews, it can only be Bono since the constitutional right to
privacy is purely personal and can only be brought by real parties in
interest. In this case, you have no standing whatsoever to say that I
am "ridiculous" and have "poor taste." Of course the exception to this
is that you worship Bono as your God, then I would be infringing on
your freedom of religion by degrading your God. So is that your
religion? If it is, I am sorry then (really).

Well, if it is true, then I am getting a copy myself too.

I wish you the best in your college studies. Take care and have a
safe trip home...
Cheers,

PS: sorry if I had to post this to Wire, I feel that some of the
comments here are also addressed to some Wirelings out there ;)
