African Americans, Too (or, Maybe, I'm Just Projecting)

If I could wave a magic wand and cure Africa's problems, I would do that,' drummer Larry Mullen Jr. said. 'But someone has to take care of the more practical, day-to-day stuff that Bono doesn't really bother with. Like, for example, how's the next album going to sound? How're we going to keep our live act fresh? I can't tell you how many millions of decisions go into making one Elevation tour.'

Mullen added: 'You don't win 14 Grammys feeding Africans.'


Besides, when asked, most starving Africans said they preferred the soft, fleshy patronizing of Angelina Jolie, 10 to 1.

Hate to nit-pick, but the link doesn't work. Here it is, in case anyone else is as (dis)interested in the plight of Africans of the distended belly varitey (versus the gilded palace-having Motubu Sese Seko-type fat cats) as the non-Bono portion of U2.

(Honestly, who the fuck calls themselves "The Edge" with a straight face).

Ha! Let's get something straight. Once we've paid all the monkeys and repaired all the typewriters, we've barely got money left over for fonts.

And you want working links?! Well, yes sir, Mr. Rockefeller, sir, we'll get right on that.
