What Is U2 Without Bono?

What is U2 without Bono? Bono is not only the backbone of U2 he is the mastermind. Everyday seems like St. Patrick’s Day for Bono, because the Irish celebrity makes it a point to celebrate. Give him some credit. Like Visa, he’s accepted everywhere.

Bono can go to Africa and Africans will accept him over there. In addition, his Humanitarian and philanthropic efforts are appreciated. I feel he would make a great Ambassador. He has a big heart made out of gold. Watch Bono interviews and you’ll clearly see he wants to make the world a better place.

He reminds me of John Lennon a lot. You’ll want to check out my John Lennon postafter reading this story. Also, name your favorite U2 and Bono songs in the comments. Beautiful Day gets me going.

I believe celebrities should take stances on important issues even when wrong. Don’t you hate political correctness? At the same time, we hate seeing celebrities used as puppets. Don’t sell us out for chicken scratch. And don’t chicken out either.

Can you picture meeting Bono? Would you be starstruck? You see Bono is definitely one of my VIPs. Plus, U2 is #2 in my Top 10 European Bands of All Time ranking. Bands don’t work without bandleaders and Bono is the don.

Bono, Adam Levine, Chris Martin, and Thom Yorke are in the same league. Many good singers lack Bono’s charisma. However, the great ones all have charismatic personalities. This doesn’t mean they’re all extroverts.

Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Prince are reserved. Still, their inner qualities shine for the whole world to see their glowing personas. Christina Aguilera is another sexy supernova. Here’s why Christina Aguilera is the Voice.

It takes courage to do what Bono has done. As an activist, the U2 singer earns more respect.

Overall, Bono gets my vote.

2 Words That Describe Sam Smith

Aren’t you tired of all these catchy commercialized pop songs? All they are just jingles. They may sell like bubblegum but don’t market it to me as music. Call it Juicy Fruit for all I care.

When the wind blows and there’s a thunderstorm, that’s true music. We yearn to hear the lion’s roar for a change. Music should be a natural gift not a Christmas present.

Thankfully, great musicians still exist. Sam Smith is one of the greatest singers alive. I had to unplug my headphones when I listened to him today because his music must be absorbed and not constrained.

I published a piece called English Music Royalties you will enjoy. Sam Smith puts his heart and soul into each note. It’s easy to tell that the remarkable music artist is passionate about his craft. Plus, his fans love him to death.

The English musician is a classic storyteller. If Hemmingway could sing how he wrote, he would sing like Sam Smith. I know Shakespeare would appreciate Writing’s On The Wall. Like Stephen King, who can write anything and make it great, Sam Smith can sing anything and make it great.

Can you imagine Smith singing See You Again? Charlie Puth said in an interview that his sensational song was meant for Sam Smith. I’m actually glad Smith let Puth do it in a way, because that was Puth’s big break. You see Sam Smith isn’t a vulture.

Moreover, he doesn’t need to stab somebody in the back to get ahead. Although the music business may be cutthroat, Mr. Smith is not. He’s only clean-shaven. Anyway, even when he grows out a beard it’s always neat.

2 words describe Sam Smith: Class and Professionalism. The celebrity distinguishes himself from average entertainers because he never settles for mediocrity. Smith strives for perfection.

I believe in striving for perfection through practice. Greatness comes after purposeful preparation. You want a better world, then built it. Construct places filled with positive people. You’re a composite of the people you talk to and spend your time with the most. Avoid negative and pessimistic individuals who minimize your contributions, and seek out new friends who will lift you up.

Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino Movies

Where is the love? All I feel around me is hate. The longer I live and reflect, the more I realize there wasn’t any love in the first place.

Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino create dark art. From the Departed to the Hateful Eight, these 2 directors make graphic material containing violence and strong language. When a Scorsese or Tarantino movie comes on, you better believe that the “viewer discretion is advised message” will pop up onscreen, because mature content certainly follows.

Tarantino and Scorsese understand the reality is that life isn’t a fairy tale. In the words of Tupac, “It’s hard to carry on when no one loves you.” Tarantino should direct the Tupac movie because he would ensure an authentic character, voice, and tone.

One of my all time favorite films is Pulp Fiction. It could have been based on a true story because Pulp Fiction is real to the core. Quentin Tarantino believes in providing high quality pictures. I admire high quality people like him. Also, Kill Bill and DJango Unchained are great movies.

Martin Scorsese movies have a similar effect. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, cupcake. I remember renting the Departed from Blockbuster back in the day. It is a long movie but nothing was drawn out.

Everyone says Tarantino is a genius. Well, Scorsese is brilliant in his own right. I enjoyed every minute of the Wolf of Wall Street. Moreover, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, and Casino should be preserved in the Library of Congress.

How do you describe in words the intangible value of their movies? After watching one of their films, you’ll be entertained for a week. What are your favorite Scorsese and Tarantino movies?

Directors don’t receive as much love as actors. However, when a movie sucks who becomes the scapegoat? It’s true celebrities cultivate popular culture. Don’t forget directors are celebrities themselves. The man standing behind the camera lenses can change the dimensions of society.

In closing, Scorsese and Tarantino tell it like it is. They utilize film making as an outlet to tell the truth. I utilize my blog for the same reasons.

Worship the Queen of Pop: Madonna

Worship the Queen of Pop. Madonna receives adulation from millions of enthusiastic fans. Madge flipped the script by entertaining crowds while you watch the throne.

Madonna is all on my Twitter. Images from her Rebel Heart Tour are fascinating. Right now The Material Girl is in Melbourne, Australia cutting the rug.

Money isn’t a concern for the future billionaire. Few folks can compare to her level of popularity. Her fandom and fame reaches absurd heights.

We’re talking about diehard fans willing and ready to do anything to make her happy. Honor Madonna because the celebrity exceeds limitations at concerts. Also, the world warmly embraces the star.

She aims to please. And Madonna serves her guests the best bread and finest wines. What’s better than her amazing performances?

Aren’t you a little Madonna stalker? What are your favorite albums? How many concerts have you been to?

You see the red carpet unravels wherever the Hollywood star walks. True followers throw rose pedals at her feet. Your dream job is to serve as Madonna’s personal assistant.

Imagine what the pop star’s lifestyle must be like. She lives higher on the hog than Princess Kate. The sex symbol engages with the most interesting people on a daily basis. Plus, she truly loves her profession.

I hear the haters saying, “Royalty doesn’t need to work.” My answer is Madge doesn’t have to work either. She works because The Queen of Pop has a reputation to uphold.

In my book, Madonna became a legend years ago. I rarely call a living person a legend because I feel you’re whole body of work should be evaluated first. However, Madonna is an exception to the rule.

What is more, Madonna’s influence on popular culture is felt from continent to continent, country to country, state to state, city to city, and person to person.

Final thought, would you go crazy after meeting Madonna for the very first time…Like A Virgin?

What Brad Pitt Can Teach Channing Tatum

Tinseltown was created for stars like Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum. For what it’s worth, Matthew McConaughey falls in the middle. Eventually Brad Pitt will retire as promised.

Looking back at Brad Pitt’s career, he has every reason to rest on his laurels. First of all, he’s married to one of the sexiest women alive. Plus, he has all the money in the world. Thanks to World War Z, Brad is immune to poverty.

Have you seen Inglorious Basterds, The Big Short and By the Sea?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button actor should have won an Oscar already. I could build cases for his performances in Burn After Reading and Fury too. By the way, I forgot to say he is one of the sexiest men alive. Do you agree? Millions of adoring fans worship at his feet.

Brad Pitt has taken on challenging roles all while making it look easy. I feel Channing Tatum best deserves to inherit Pitt’s best-kept secrets. Noticeably, Tatum engages his audience through Twitter and social media. Pitt is old school in this respect.

Moreover, Channing Tatum movies are by in large lighter than Brad Pitt’s films. Brad Pitt can teach Channing how to be taken more seriously and still have a good time. White House Down displayed the movie star in his finest element.

I also thoroughly enjoyed his performances in 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street. His chemistry with Jonah Hill can’t be faked. Like Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum can play a variety of parts.

I want to see a Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lawrence sex scene before it’s too late. For now, we can look forward to the Hot Commodity Chris Pratt having sex with Jennifer in The Passengers.

I believe Brad Pitt should mentor Channing Tatum. Hollywood’s secrets should be passed down only to the worthy. Channing Tatum has proven his worthiness.

Who’s Hotter? Gigi Hadid Vs. Cara Delevingne

Picture a million more supermen and supermodels. That’s what the world needs the most. Although America’s Next Top Model has officially ended, the supermodel’s quest goes on due to the likes of Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne.

Do Gigi and Cara look like a billion dollars or what? Appearances mean everything to models. Even actresses must dress the part to sell the product. Remember all supermodels can be actresses but not every actress can model.

So, who’s hotter? Right now, I believe Hadid is hotter. However, at one time Delevingne was number one.

Supermodel rankings change like the prices of blue chip stocks. It seems the stock of Delevingne is dropping a little bit. And Hadid’s stock price is soaring because let’s face it- she’s the hottest commodity in the business.

Who wants FaceTime with Gigi? The answer is everybody. This in no way takes away from Cara’s sexiness. I know for a fact you want to Skype Cara.

You see the hotness factor of both models is between 97 and 100. So, I understand if you say Delevingne is hotter than Hadid.

Born in London, England the 23-year-old Cara measures at 5 ft. 8 in (1.73 m). Her hair is a light brown color and she has blue eyes. Apparently beauty runs in her family, because her sister Poppy is a model too. Storm Model Management manages the Delevingne sisters.

The 5 ft. 10 in 20-year-old Gigi Hadid (Kendall Jenner’s BFF) originates out of Los Angeles, California. Malibu’s most wanted model is blonde haired and blue eyed. Her younger sister Bella is also a model. Both babes are signed under IMG Models.

This debate I started today will be around for years to come. They will say Cara Delevingne is the next Kate Moss. They will call Sports Illustrated Gigi Hadid the best supermodel in the world. All I ask you is to remember Guru Jay told you first. Like Superman, I’m one in a million.

Watching Idris Elba

I desire to watch better TV. Many people waste time surfing channels and watching garbage because bad TV is easy to find. On the flip side, there are some great shows out there just waiting to be found. Can you recommend me some shows to watch?

Lately, I’ve been watching Luther starring Idris Elba. If you’ve never seen Luthergo check it out. Detective Chief Inspector John Luther (Elba) doesn’t fiddle his fingers when investigating crimes.

There is no separation between Idris Elba and the lead character. I believe Idris is one of the best method actors because he’s focused on creating superior quality.

It’s interesting seeing Elba as Luther because England is a trip.

Let me warn you that digesting Lutherepisodes require a strong stomach. The DCI deals with all sorts of sociopaths and demons. Some weird shit goes down, so be prepared.

Of course, the acting is top notch. I also enjoy the writing and artistic direction. Jessica Jones reminds me of this in a way. However, Luther is more realistic.

I’ve been a fan of Elba for 11 years. Do you remember The Gospel and Daddy’s Little Girls? He gave Gabrielle Union the butterflies. I’m not saying the feeling wasn’t mutual because the Being Mary Jane actress is a bombshell. That’s my perspective on things.

And who could forget Elba’s scenes in American Gangster starring Denzel Washington? All of Elba’s characters seem believable and distinguishable. He embodies the meaning of acting…to become someone else. Check out my Beast of No Nation Movie Review.

Idris Elba’s film and TV credits speak volumes. Does Elba dominate the silver screen or what? That’s why every actress and female reporter/correspondent looks forward to greeting Idris on the red carpet. He has sex appeal like Johnny Deppand Leonardo DiCaprio.

Who’s watching Idris Elba?
