... in his craw. In the end, however, Helms will probably be best remembered for his friendship with Bono. "Those two were like peas in a pod," says bassist Adam Clayton. "I never could figure it out, but after a while I just got used to seeing the old guy around. He was in the studio half the time when we were recording 'Achtung Baby', played tambourine on a couple of tracks. Used to really...

Lawyers make huge pro bono effort for Guantánamo detainees (International Herald Tribune)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:42:38 GMT

Not all law firms have such a legacy. Wilmer Hale is the amalgamation of two storied firms that merged in 2004. Both the Boston-based Hale & Dorr, formed in 1918, and the Washington-based Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, had histories of courting controversy. In 1954, Hale & Dorr partner Joseph R. Welch defended the Army, pro bono, from the overzealous anticommunist crusader, Senator Joseph McCarthy,...

Bono Blames ISPs For Music Industry Decline - Though he did see value in Radiohead's free offering... (broadbandreports.com)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:43:18 GMT

As I've noted, U2 manager Paul McGuinness thinks that ISPs and Silicon Valley " hippy values " are responsible for the decline of the music industry. Most recently, McGuinness called broadband ISPs "shoplifters" and accused them of "turning their heads" away from the music industry's troubles. Techdirt notes that U2 lead singer Bono agrees to some extent, stating "it is disturbing to see internet...

[Asinine] Murderous dictator Robert Mugabe celebrated as a hero by other African leaders at a conference. Tell us more about cancelling debt for Africa, Bono (Fark.com)

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:01:32 GMT

Actually, Africa would be served well by a dictator. Just one that's competent. Which of course is not Mugabe. The only hope for that region is for someone to instill order and respect for law. It's essentially anarchy in large swathes of the continent. Someone with a big army and an eye towards establishing a sustainable long-term model will be the only means of doing this. Maybe after someone comes...

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:30:00 GMT

Like U2's manager, Paul McGuinness, Bono firmly believes that all problems can be solved by haranguing people in power and pleading for charitable donations , rather than actually changing economic models. But one thing Bono won't do is dis Radiohead , one of the few successful bands with any critical cachet whatsoever. So when McGuinness decided to call the Internet release of In Rainbows...

But Bono wrote a letter to this week’s NME to say “we disagree with Paul’s assessment”: “We think they were courageous and imaginative in trying to figure out some new relationship with their audience. Such imagination and courage are in short supply right now.” Which doesn’t suggest U2 are about to go the same way, however. Bono backed the rest of his manager’s view: “It is disturbing...
