.Speaking of Pop, U2 has a fairly nice sized critque of all things
pop...
.More importantly, this album is dedicated to the farse, phonyness if
you
.will, of pop culture, commercialism and other western (mostly
american)
.mores.
Of course, its impossible to take anything u2 says about phonyness
seriously after the Negativland fiasco. Briefly, island records suing
sst records (negativlands label) for copyright infringement, for using
samples of a u2 song. What about fair use. To find out more about
the story (very interesting) AND to listen to the banned (sic) song,
check out http://www.negativland.com/
Sorry if this post is `off message` but I had to laugh when I read the
original post, hopefully this`ll cheer you up too!
Alex.
