Does anyone else notice they're playing a lot of U2 when this war started?
Some say this is golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage.

And a lot of the songs they're playing are from 'War'. I think I've heard Sunday Bloody Sunday like at least 5 times this week and 'New Year's Day' at 7.

Is this a subconcious attempt by the American people to tell their government that they don't support this war?

Is this an attempt by the pinko liberal media to raise dissent amoung the American people agaisnt Bush?

Has Bono gone off the deep end and invaded various radio stations to relive his past glories (since we all know U2 has been basically tapped out since Joshua Tree)?

Have I listened to 'War' so many other times that I'm just hearing it wherever I go? (yes)

bah, radio

I hate the advertising, and for the few good songs, ya have to swallow a shitload of ultimate crap songs

Though the classical music station is pretty cool, they don't put much U2 on there

It's a St. Patrick's Day conspiracy.

I wish they'd play Peace On Earth more often...except I get it stuck in my head all the damn time.

I hated the U2 song at the end of Gangs of New York. The movie was amazing, but the song was crap.

The version with mixed in comments from 9-11 is absolutely chilling.

Tapped out? Not quite.

I'd rather hear Metallica's One.

One
(Hetfield,ulrich)
I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There Is Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
in Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me

Darkness

Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell

Landmine

Has Taken My Sight
Taken My Speech
Taken My Hearing
Taken My Arms
Taken My Legs
Taken My Soul
Left Me with Life in Hell
