My neighbors (guy and a girl living in sin) were arguing about who was the better rock band, Smashing Pumpkins or u2.  He, like a man, favored 'mashing 'umpkins.  She liked u2, of course, because she has a vagina as does every u2 fan.  Their argument went a little something like this.


Girl: How can you argue with 'Beautiful Day'?
Guy: ...Did you really just ask me that question?
Girl: Yes, it's amazing.
Guy:  It sucks.  Everything u2 did sucks compared to the Pumpkins.  Oh wait sorry, I think I misunderstood...Are we arguing about who's the better rock band, or who's the better adult contemporary band?  Because if it's the latter then you're definitely right.

OMFG.  Anybody remember when an up-and-coming band from the 9th grade center named Podstar toured around with Mr. Easterday and the MHS Orchestra and they played Tonight Tonight? 

Was in middle school and thought for sure that I was witnessing the greatest thing since Kevin Lockett.   :cool:

I know both of them and I'm pretty sure you're wrong.  And of the two, Mr. Easterday without question transcribed the orchestral parts.  Mrs. Albright couldn't transcribe her way out of a paper bag.


Also, 'Beautiful Day' is just the worst.  Unless of course you're a girl.

saw u2 in phx w/my folks in 2009. 2011 SD is correct. "where the streets have no name" is lit. they have some other good ones, but the bulk of their oeuvre is largely forgettable. btw, black eyed peas opened in 2009. was hilarious to watch my folks/other older white folks sway to their rhythms.
