Nothing New Under the Sun

So apparently U2 listens to Radiohead too, and vice versa.

But hey emulation is the highest form of flattery, or so they say.
Bottom line a good song is a good song, no matter who it sounds like, and the new U2 single "Get On Your Boots" is definitely worth a listen. And though I've never been a huge U2 fan I have to say that I've been casually following the recording process of their new record, so I look forward to hearing what the rest of record...whenever it finally comes out.

Heavy is the head that bears the crown.

Ok, so I'm in no way a die hard supporter of President Bush, in fact I'm probably just as dissatisfied as most of the rest of ya'll. But give the guy a break, it's not like the last eight years were a walk in the park, least of all not for the man sitting at the top of the totum pole.

And to be honest, I think everyone is in for a big surprise when President Obama actually sits behind the desk and starts making decisions that carry weight. Those that have been falling all over themselves trying to jump on the bandwagon of "Change" will finally realize that what glitters is rarely gold. You can't change course and expect things to turn around on a dime.

That being said, I wish our new President the best. I am an American after all and I take great pride in my country and it's leaders have my respect regardless of whether I agree or disagree with their politics.
