Once you get into that creative mindset it must be a constant worry that you're losing what you had. And if you actually believe that your 15th album is the best album you've ever made you are quite clearly deranged. So you lose your mind either way. You can't tell me that Bono shouldn't be locked up by now. Or at least on heavy medication so that he shuts the fuck up and buggers off to Switzerland where he can carry on avoiding paying tax.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340519450159428760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-10896258677535040042009-03-01T21:01:00.000+00:002009-03-01T21:01:00.000+00:00Tim - Thank you.

A genre of music that is not short of overachievers. <BR/><BR/>Donn - I'm going through a mid-life change. I'm kicking off my shoes and taking it really easy. I can't even be bothered to go on holiday, just a few days out on the train, no rushing around.<BR/><BR/>Rog - Bono and Chris Martin both have incredibly annoying stage mannerisms that make me wish for a sniper in the audience. If I had to choose between the two musically I'd have to go for Coldplay as having a bit more soul.<BR/><BR/>Inwardly Confused - That's ideal.

In a thumbscrew sense. I love some of their stuff but he is such a tosser. When he slagged off Chris Martin recently you must have been caught between two stools Geoff.
