1. Yesterday, the "Sunday Bloody Sunday" video came on TV.
I marched around the kitchen and living room carrying a white paper towel. Then my testicles ascended and I hung out with the pope.

5. What else could it be?
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 12:29 PM by terrya
Is Bono even still interested in music anymore or is he angling for that Nobel Peace Prize?

6. Air Supply never even came close to a "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
No need to bring up U2 at all.

7. You're right.
Air Supply never pretended to be something they weren't. ;)

14. Hey, the BeeGees had talent
But what happened with them is they got too popular. Too much exposure and everybody hated them.

A little while ago I ran into a best of the BeeGees compilation in the bargain rack. Feeling nostalgic I took it home and was pleasantly suprised at the talent the exhibited.

23. I pretty much love their entire catalog
But that "Massachusetts" era stuff is really special.

25. I guess they had talent....
but like Sir Paul they displayed an appalling lack of taste. A matter of taste to be sure, but castrato disco warbling just ain't mine. :P
