Naturally I am still subjected to their music on the radio, even in the brief time I am exposed to it I am almost guaranteed to hear something once or twice every weekend – see also Bruce Springsteen aka The Boss as they will refer to him.
Harmless enough of course, and there is the undeniable fact that at least two of the band just seem to sail along and bother nobody. Bono does tend to go on a bit all the same though I suppose, him and Geldof. They are almost competing in a competition of bellendery.
The other bloke, The Edge if you will. Fúck me. They actually call him that in interviews. The fúcking Edge.
It's a massive generalisation all the same to say they are hated in Ireland. Loved by as many if not more.
