Fuck these wet-behind-the-ears know-it-alls, in time they will grow up to understand that rock and roll is an art form that like all great art – transcends generations.

To declare that U2 are irrelevant in 2010 is folly, no less than to declare Rembrandt, Beethoven or indeed even The Beatles are irrelevant in 2010.

U2 are unique among all the historic mega-bands in that they are still producing cutting edge rock music long after their contemporaries gave up or lost the ability to write and instead chose to tour on the back of their ancient hits.
