I get alot of flak from people when I tell them that I think U2 is overrated 
and Bono is overflated,however he does fight some good issues in front of 
Congress.Any artists or band members that call themselves by one name tend to 
come off as arrogant,and of course I'm probably wrong in most cases,but 
that's the perception I get.Charro, Fabio,Pink?At last years Grammy's the 
Edge spoke for what seemed like an eternity and it was a well know butt of 
jokes with the media and talk show circuits,so that's why the Edge mentioned 
it and then Bono pushed him out of the way in a jokingly matter.

There was a time I did,but not anymore.The Grammy's and all other award shows 
just seem so superficial and to be a showcase of who's got one up on the 
other.Nahhh.....actually,U2 fit in well..........Speaking of fitting in 
well,where was Aerosmith?Were they there?When they did that ' Walk This Way ' 
duet with Run DMC 17 years ago,I burned all their albums.Hip 
hop,rap?Ugggghhhhhhh! :O
