U2 Prefer To Hang Out Where The Streets Have Their Name

March 3rd, 2009 // 7 Comments

Irish rock band U2 continue the habit of hanging out with world leaders during a photo op in Manhattan where W. 53rd St. was renamed after the band. (Just temporarily, though—it’s not like they’re Joey Ramone or Golda Meir, you know.) [AP]

    Anyone else think the U2 banner ad load up looks like a spinning swastika? I’m sure it’s just poor visual design, but still…

    If this album doesn’t sell a bajillion copies first week out after all this press, they should be embarrassed.

    @owenmeany: Define “bajillion.”

    Bajillion as in the 840K they did on Atomic Bomb the week of Thanksgiving in ’04? Not possible in this climate.

    Bajillion as in half a mil, which these days is a victory? Sure.
