U2 & Max Headroom

A ‘postmodern classic?’ Hmmm……the consensus seems to veer from vomit sounds to kill these holier than though two bit hucksters who are standing on the soldiers of giants by ‘making’ this video.

I must concur. It might help if the song was actually any good, and this is from a lapsed U2 fan. It has resurrected the whole negativeland controversy from the early 1990’s which makes them look foolish rather than evil, as per the recent tax evasion allegations. I am a huge Zoo TV era fan, but that was over ten years ago. Fuck me, that’s scary…..

Speaking of Zoo TV and ‘amazing’ early 90’s technology fetishism, lets travel back – Infinitely more interesting is this incedible hack, back in the infancy of the culture we consider cyber – I must must have been barely 14 and Max Headroom film/video was the fuuttuurree. Kudos to do a hack during a US transmission of Dr. Who – never my personnel idiom, but well timed.
