I don't really hate U2, but to say I loved them would be too strong a word. That's besides the point, because it made me remember one of my favorite spoken word/talking bits by Henry Rollins. I used to listen to albums of his spoken word stuff for hours at a time. Nowhere else do you hear someone speak to a crowd with almost zero regard for whether or not they offended someone, and yet he was rarely vulgar and often fascinating. For that reason, hearing his albums are refreshing, and whether you agree with him or not, you are at least entertained.
Here's his bit on his hatred of U2. LOTS of swearing, so obviously NSFW
