windbaggery

In case you didn't check out the link to the Sun-Times review in the last post (and I urge you to), here's the best part:

The 45-year-old front man's hubristic sins went on and on... Still, while he was the most obnoxious presence, it would be wrong to single him out as the only offender.

Guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. gave their silent approval while providing the music that served as background and afterthought for all of this speechifying, and they did so in a rote, autopilot fashion that created a disturbing contrast between the impassioned windbaggery and the passionless rock 'n' roll.

It's not just Bono. It's the whole damn band.
