If Bono et al ARE responsible for the existence of the Killers, Coldplay, and the fact that the Kings Of Leon now simply release the same awful song over and over again, instead of sounding a bit like Lynyrd Skynyrd, then they deserve to die.

Hear, hear. I’m with my fellow Welshman, Patrick McGuinness. If it wasn’t for U2, there would be no Coldplay, so fill your pipe up with that one. And then smoke your pipe.

Why are you criticising U2? Are you jealous of their achievements?
U2 have changed music in a good way and if it wasn’t for them, bands such as Coldplay, Kings of Leon and The Killers wouldn’t be as good as they are.
So what if Bono is an activist, not my problem, not your problem, so keep your whining trap shut.
I don’t see anything else funny in this article either. You have the driest humour I’ve known; give up journalism and comedy, and do something that won’t get yourself killed.
Good luck to all the nominees!
