A Slightly Earlier Than Usual Clue to the New Direction

Live in Milan (date unknown), here's drunken mick louts Conscience of the Western World U2 with their anthemic "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."



Of course, let's not tell these guys, okay? It might sting a little. The whole Fair Use thing, and all that.

    U are a cruel, cruel man. Funny, but cruel.

    And it would be unfair of me to guess this one ...

    And this clip is from their most recent tour. Those little squares in the background, behind the stage, are individual tv screens.

    I can say no more.

    A musical act quoting heavily from another musical act's catalog?

    A super big musical act trying to bully a small independent act?

    Most bloated musical acts?

    Return of the Plumber

    Best use of sampling? (I refer to Negativland, not Cher's ex-husband's namesake.)

    PBS (Post-Beatles Songs, not the TV station) featuring four or more of the following hyperactive activities: climbing, running, crawling, scaling, finding (not), looking, kissing, healing, burning, speaking, holding, believing, bleeding, breaking, loosening, carrying?

    All very good, and I'm definitely stealing the one about lost and found.

    But no.

    Hmm...another hint...

    Okay, it's not about the song per se.

    Okay -- it's about your reaction to the song, not the song itself.

    But perhaps I've said too much...
