U2 dropped a song about Renee Good. Spoiler alert: It's bad. "I love you more... Than hate loves war." (www.youtube.com)

This article disagrees with me.

While “American Obituary” may recall U2’s classic “Sunday Bloody Sunday” in its virulent commentary, it’s more of a punk rocker with slashing guitars, and Bono delivering words with a hip-hop cadence almost as if to channel a modern-day Bob Dylan protest song.

In a nice touch - the article has the lyrics. My browser crashed ~3m into the song so I missed this gem...

The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power

Spoiler alert—it's bad. It's a bunch college essay-length press releases that more or less say:

Wow, fuck Hamas, we condemn Hamas 110%, they are evil devil monsters. Hamas is literally Satan and straight up murdered all those people because they enjoy the taste of human flesh.

~~Israel~~ BENJAMIN NETANYAHU is pretty bad, though, too. But, we stand with the people of Palestine AND Israel, and hope BOTH SIDES can peacefully negotiate a non-violent, peaceful solution to this very complicated issue, peacefully. Just like we did in Ireland. We are very smart boys who understand our own history, and aren't just rich shitholes who can't be arsed to give a fuck.
