Fox News — Trump is giving U2 a bad case of “Vertigo.”
The Irish rock band was left spinning after Trump was elected president and despite their next album being “pretty much complete,” they decided to hold of releasing it to give themselves “breathing space.”
“We just went, ‘Hold on a second – we’ve got to give ourselves a moment to think about this record and about how it relates to what’s going on in the world,'” U2 guitarist The Edge told Rolling Stone.
He said Trump’s election was “like a pendulum has suddenly just taken a huge swing in the other direction…Suddenly the world changed.”
I guess November 8th was not a beautiful day for U2. Tuesday bloody Tuesday. Go to bed expecting a bright future, but wake up and you still haven’t found what you’re looking for. Sad. I would think professional musicians could still produce despite this but looks like they won’t do whatever it takes to make a song for someone.
In reality sometimes you get stuck in a moment you can’t get out of and need an excuse. U2 probably missed a few deadlines so went with what’s hot in the streets and blamed it on Donnie. Probably were at the Playboy mansion instead of working. Sucks but oh well.
PS — I apologize for this blog but I just had to. I did it for me but more importantly I did it for u, 2.
