“This thing of art that we don’t even have a word for.”
-Bono, regarding his latest project Spiderman the Musical
Actually, Bono, we have a word for it. It’s called crap. A commodity you have been dealing in since the ’80s.
In this times article, Bono goes on to compare Spiderman, The Musical (you need to actually say that out loud to realize how insurmountably stupid an idea this is), which is already the most expensive production in the history of Broadway, to “Rilke, Blake, ‘Wings of Desire,’ Roy Lichenstein and The Ramones.”
Really. He said that.
