Supergroup

Interesting news on the music front: U2 frontman Bono is forming a supergroup with Tony Blair (guitar) and Woody Allen (clarinet) calling themselves WNI - White Niggaz Incoming. Their eagerly awaited first single Taking Down the System - All Shall Fall will be in shops soon (remember to bring your mask). An album is also in the works with the provisional title Bringin’ it to the Man. It almost certainly will contain the Blair penned song Superego Trippin’ with Yo Mama and Yo Daddy.

Gatesman 3

Marvel Comics say there has been incredibly positive public reaction to their new Gatesman character and upcoming series, so much so that an entire additional writing team has been assigned to the creation of new and existing storylines. One of the most intriguing offshoots of their efforts is where Gatesman teams up with old buddies Bill Clinton and Bono to go on a vaccinating holiday across much of central Africa. Efforts to get Tony Blair to join them and make up a foursome seemingly initiate some surprising tensions amongst the group!

Bono Wisdom

Bono, one of the world's biggest small rock stars, has declared that "Politics is the new rock n' roll." He previously said that, and yes, he really did say the following: "I'm fond of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. They are kind of the John and Paul of the global development stage, in my opinion. But the point is, Lennon and McCartney changed my interior world - Blair and Brown can change the real world." 

 Bono - and this is more perhaps in the way of being conjectural - said he was "sure" Lennon would approve of the changing of the real world that Blair and Brown have helped effect in their times on the political stage. "War isn't particularly nice, nor is lying one's way into war, yeah I know, but this is global development," said the leader of the shit band. "And what you have to remember is sometimes vast numbers of lives have to be ruined to aid the machinations of the spiritually diseased and materially bountiful few. That's what democracy's all about."
