Oh No, It's BoNo

I don't pronounce his name "bah-no", cuz it should rhyme with Bozo. He and his band should go away now. It's all disco crap wrapped in a thin veil of world peace and caring, which was once the band's primary goal. It's also slathered with a thick layer of commercial marketing fakery. Way back around their first 2 or 3 albums, they cared and wrote decent music that could be played by a 3–piece band on your basic rock instruments (drums, bass, guitar). Now it's all—to borrow from Dan Aykroyd, genius—pre–programmed electronic disco, and it's main goal is to sell you something you don't need. That something was once an iPod, then a Dell computer, and now a goddamn BlackBerry. I can mostly handle Vertigo, but anything else they've recorded in the past, what, 20 years just makes me nauseous.
