A rich and obese little birdie told me that
SONGS OF ASCENT is currently being made, and that
SONGS OF ASCENT will be the best U2 album since the multiple
GRAMMY winning masterpiece
HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB.
Naturally i don't always believe what the rich and obese little birdie tells me, as he/she can be quite hysterical at times and often doesn't make good sense.
Like the time the rich and obese little birdie ate too much birthday cake, a delicious cake i might add, with lavender colored whipped cream icing that turned his/her poop a shocking shade of violet.
Or the time he/she spoke of their cousins, who were afraid of heights, so they built their nest near the ground and were surprised to find themselves victims of a feral cat. These cousins were offspring of parents who had a fear of flying, therefore they never left their own nest and eventually died of starvation. Birdbrains, all of them!
Anyway back on topic. I think Soon is quite a gem. It would be the opener on my version of
NO L INE ON THE HOR I ZON, if i had my way. The middle disaster / train wreck would be deleted from the album, and i would replace with 'Mercy'. It would be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
