the U2 cheese spreads our toast once more

[alejandroAT]

Ok, U2 started as a rebel band and they have a long history of good and proper rock tunes. Somewhere along the 90s they lost it and recently they have started bombarding us with cheese. Now to be more precise and to my question:

What the hell does the house of the rising sun have to do with the catastropy in new orleans? yeah ok the song is for a good purpose and it implies that maybe US troops can be put to a better use than fighting bushwars, but what in the name of logic has the house of the rising sun have to do with humanitarian help or floods or the army?

U2 are useless anyways. Incredibly santimonious.

"Peter, we need to save this food for the starvin' children of the world."
"That's us Bono, we're starving."

the song is about a brothel in New Orleans. hence why the first line is "There is a house in New Orleans"

my guess is they did it because A) every rock group has done this song at some point B) it has a clear and obvious relationship to the city itself. a part of its mystery or something.

but yeah, it has nothing to do with floods or anything.

:music: In the naaaaaame of looooove, what more, in the name of loooooove :music:

Sorry, couldn't hear you over the U2 album I'm playing, could you repeat that?

thsta the thing...i hate it when people just use a song or a poem in a context completely different just because it has the name of the city in question in it.
