[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Good LORD! That was incredibly tasteless, and perhaps the funniest thing I've read in days. Days, mind you. Days that I've been without a computer. Days in which no one seems to have cared about me, because obviously I suck, or something. And then there is a music thread where nobody says anything involving me? My ego is crushed and battered and whipped and spewed, and made mincemeat out of. Which is probably a good thing, in the long run. Who the hell do I think I am? But, I cannot be silent. U2 is a lot more like the Backstreet Boys than some of you seem comfortable in admiting. Dare I utter the word "Popmart"? Then we have Bono who compares only with Sting in the catagory of musicians who make more "gutsy political statements" than music. Er...and Adam, uh, guy, of the Beastie Boys. Er, and all of Rage Against the Machine. Though the latter combine both, and make something that is, at the very least, interesting. But that isn't the point. There is no point. There is every point. But U2 lyrics are not poetry. Soul Coughing lyrics are poetry with a capital OET. I prove it to you thusly. [b]An excerpt from Screenwriter's Blues[/b] [i]Gone savage For teenagers with automatic weapons and boundless love Gone savage For teenagers who are aesthetically pleasing In other words Fly Los Angeles beckons the teenagers to come to her on buses; Los Angeles loves love[/i] Of course, this stems from the fact that M. Doughty, singer and songwriter for Soul Coughing is a poet himself. And Soul Coughing references are fifty thousand times cooler than U2 references. What does U2 have to compare to "I absorb trust like a love rhombus" or "I ride the fader and I ride it low, I'm going to slip into the field like Han Solo and". Or has a song that mentions Josie and the Pussycats and the inner processes of atoms? In the same song, mind you. Well? They Might Be Giants, of course, reference Gigantor, which is of course ninety-nine thousand times cooler than U2, but in a Japanese financial empire cool. (I'm sorry, but I couldn't help myself.)
