I like that he's at least articulate and sometimes funny as hell, expecially when talking about Celine Dion ( I totally agree). I'm not defending U2 at all, but I think there are other waaaaay more shitty things out there on the cultural landscape that deserve the ass-whipping he gives to Bono and company. I agree, how can you be all righteous when you are selling an iPod (an item I despise, by the way) that is specailly desinged to play your band's music. I don't know...that's the world we live in, I think it sucks too. It's either live in the modern world with all it's crappy Access Hollywood mentality or go find a mountain far, far away and live like Jack Kerouac did in 'Dharma Bums' keeping a lookout for forest fires in the valley.
