    It makes me wonder, with it apparently having taken a bit of a toll on Edge personally and with the bitterness and resentment from locals it would seem, that it might be best to cut your losses and chase a new dream, afterall you wouldn't want to be living right amongst people with that kind of malaise towards you..


    exactly this I mean, I suppose I understand that after ALL the fighting they've gone through and the money they've put into this, they can't just... drop the whole matter. it cost them millions. on the other hand I wish they'd just... move on. though the article sounds like things are finally moving in edge's favour there at the end. hmm.
  2. This is one of the very few things a U2 member has done outside of music that I really disagree with. At the same time I think it's hilarious that other people living in massive houses on the coast are opposed to Edge's massive house because of "environmental concerns." It makes sense for someone like me who grew up in the suburbs (albeit also in a nice house) to oppose the general idea of building massive coastal properties, but these jokers are calling the kettle black in this case.
  4. Earlier Bono and Adam attended an anniversary mass in Dublin

  5. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh been there so many times Besides St' Mary's Pro Church and actually pretty pretty close to Talbot Street (where the Raised By Wolves car bomb exploded).

  6. ...and I have been right there just one week ago....
  9. Why do you disagree? All the residents that have issues probably didn't go through half the shit Edge has over this when they built and probably would have never made as many concessions as he has. I bet none of them have public trails on their property... And just look at how all of those designs blend into their surroundings. I'll bet the other homes in the area look exactly like what they don't want his house(s) to look like. This is an issue of pretentious people worried about someone else having a better view from the hill than they do... hypocrites, every last one of them. Good for Edge fighting for his dream home so much that he has spent a small fortune to ensure the integrity of the environment around him...

  10. I disagree based on the principle that I don't think anybody should have the right to build massive cliff-side private properties on the California coast. The beautiful coastline we have should be a public resource for all residents to enjoy.

    That's why I see Edge's situation being utterly hilarious because most of his opposition comes from people who already own massive properties.
  11. I think this is interesting: current Bono explaining the story behind Bullet The Blue Sky.



    What I want to know is the story behind the megaphone #OkNo
  12. Best part of the video:
    "I saw a graffiti that said "fuck Jesus". I thought that was too harsh, but they said "no, that's Jesús (a very common Spanish name), he lives around the corner". Humor in desperate times.
