davidcotyalex · 08-17-2010, 01:58 PM

you have got to be kidding me??!! what a JOKE!!

and the fact that you cow tow to this nonsense marti shows how far gone you are........................give me a break

wake up people..............you criticize me for stating he isn't a musician yet get all googoo eyed at the notion he played some celebratory birthday party - and you people think you are "hip" and "down to earth???" more like people magazine if you ask me.........

it is crystal clear that this is the decision he has made for himself - congratulate him for his ability to hang out and smoke the herb...............but don't tell me what a spiritually moving incredible artform he is - he may have had some potential call it ten years ago but he has taken the way easy road if you ask me

ok tata for now - off to see an incredible cd release gig tonight for BOTH ray and mr gray!! now that is a LOL!

glo32 · 08-17-2010, 02:22 PM

You're stuck in a groove, Dave

Amie R. · 08-18-2010, 09:16 AM

Damien looks so cute! I think Bono got his friends to help him to throw the party. His daughter is playing a role in the movie Sean is shooting in Ireland. Nothing wrong with that!

Amie R. · 08-18-2010, 09:18 AM

Showbizz.ie hates Damien,but can't stop following the guy! Sounds familiar?I think they stole the picture from other sources though...

bearbait · 08-18-2010, 01:07 PM

Hopefully Damien talked to Kris Kristofferson there and they will do a collaboration together. I could totally see him involved in a re-make of Highwayman.

Davidcoteyalex - I didn't see anybody getting googley-eyed over Damien being at a party with a bunch of stars. In fact, everybody seemed very low-key about it.

Maybe he can give Sean Penn some lessons in how to be kind and respectful towards others, though. And maybe some anger management as well.

I'm not sure if Damien is the best person to learn anger management, or kindness and respectfulness from. khm.. Munich sound check... khm... Juniper... khm...

Amie R. · 08-18-2010, 05:58 PM

Oh come one guys you want the man to be perfect? He is just a human being like everybody else...

cille · 08-18-2010, 06:57 PM

^^ He did that Anger Management/balance course in NY, remember?

I'm so glad to hear that are many like me. Could never stand Bono. But who knows he is a nice person and who knows Damien is better than everyone thinks...we never know...Judging without knowing what's behind is very stupid.
By the way I was just wondering if Bono was planning to ride that pole?? Goooo Girl!

Wheels · 08-19-2010, 09:08 PM

People give Bono too hard a time... what did he ever do to you? As for the pole, it kinda looks from those 2 pics like he stumbled towards it and held on so that the cameras didnt' see how drunk he was

no he never did me a thing and will never do,but we all have the right to have impressions about people,right? And as I said,maybe he is a nice guy. I only know the musician and as a musician he has too much of a celebrity and I don't like that.
If he could do the pole dance I would like him more...

Spamlet · 08-20-2010, 12:26 PM

The ignorance in this thread is astounding. Sean Penn and Bono are selfish, eh? You're talking about possibly the two most passionately involved celebrities in helping the causes of the oppressed and poor. They annoy you by being strident or on a soapbox but that's how they get things done. There's certainly nothing pretentious about the work they do because they put their money where their mouth is. Penn literally moved down to Haiti after the quake and has been there helping rebuild houses and buildings with his own hands. When Damo hangs out with Snookie and Situation then you can say he's a sellout.

Joyful · 08-20-2010, 01:55 PM

^

Where is the "like" button?

Agreed. You are all entitled to your own opinions, likes and dislikes, but I don't get it. Penn and Bono may be loud, but they get things done. And I have no more problem with Damien hanging out with them than I would with him hanging out with any other unknown person working on a humanitarian cause. And to be clear to David- this is not celebrity worship, just respect for people that are honestly helping others in need.

mariaoran · 08-23-2010, 12:41 AM

^^ Well on my part its not ignorance, its just personal!

But whatever the reason is, lets not call people ignorant for having their own opinions, yeah?!

this tyrannous chavez always finds a way to convince some people how "good" he can be. saldy, there´re a lot of people, even in venezuela (i don´t have to tell you that, maria, i know), who love him

Sorry Maria. I didn't mean to imply that you were ignorant. I don't think that at all. My apologies.

I very much agree with you. More ignorant is who thinks that others/different opnions is ignorance.

Spamlet · 08-24-2010, 07:01 PM

Ladies,

I didn't actually call anyone in particular ignorant, I said in the thread there was ignorance as in the dictionary definition: lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc. which there clearly was based on the claims being made.

However, I suppose I could use the term hypocritical: "Judging without knowing what's behind is very stupid."
