"You don't get it, do you? My wife is Bono. She is not Larry." aka Dolores from The Cranberries and her pisshead husband vs their beleaguered nanny

"It has always been behind me," she said.

????????

"I am relieved it's all over and sometimes the little guy can win."
But she lost! The judge dismissed most of her claims as groundless!
Sometimes the little guy is a goldigger?

Wow this is fun!!!

it seems I am the larry.

Larry is an excellent term, I've already started using it.

In "You're Not GM," Harshaw points out that the public is bombarded by marketing from so-called "Fortune 5000" companies who drop "a million bucks here, half a million there" on repetitive advertising intended to build distribution and brand awareness. General Motors, he says, spent $3.1 billion on worldwide advertising last year. "That's why they can sing 'like a rock, like a rock, like a rock' and it works. If you spend over 3 billion dollars, you'll get stellar results too." We've become so accustomed to this marketing and advertising approach, he says, that everyone assumes that's simply how it's done.

So THAT explains why the last couple of Cranberries albums are the way they are.

"O no, be Bono!"

The lead singer of Irish band The Cranberries has been arrested following an alleged double assault on a flight from the US to the Republic of Ireland.

Dolores O'Riordan was detained after an air hostess was reportedly attacked on an Aer Lingus flight from New York to Shannon, County Clare, on Monday.

Irish police were called to meet the aircraft and during the course of the arrest, a policeman was also assaulted.

I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude

You know, I haven't seen/heard ANY '20th anniversary of No Need to Argue' pieces anywhere this year, and I have to assume that was entirely intentional.

she should be rapped across her fingers

for her punch up on aer lingus (for her punch-up, for her punch-up)

The song resulting from this incident will be truly terrible.

It was the fearful night of November 9th.
She was returning home on a transatlantic flight.
She had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice.
Because in 2014, she paid the price.

She said I just slapped a hostess.
She said I just slapped a hostess.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.

I feel the tunefulness.

for her punch up on aer lingus (for her punch-up, for her punch-up)

ftw!

Just had a thought:

The chorus of u2's "Get on yr boots" has the first part of this thread tile, quite prominently.

Was this what it was really about?

Click on the photo if me and u will see me again...I'm HERE...I'M REALLY HERE!!!

(her last post on her facebook account)

It's not not what it seems.

Oh dear.

somewhat on that note: When I was playing No Need To Argue around the apartment in the last few days, my roommates commented on how O’Riordon’s voice is sort of the prototypical voice for ’90s female singer-songwriters

lol yeah no precedent for that one

wonder what 90s female singer-songwriters sounded like before the prototype dropped in 1993

no references to sinead o'connor on the page. two references to "sundays" - but in the comment section

did they mean to write "postotype"?

or perhaps the follow-up line was "my roommates are idiots." (not going to give that link any clickthroughs)

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/cranberries-singer-dolores-oriordan-pleads-guilty-to-air-rage-incident-a6775896.html

In evidence read to the court, Inspector Tom Kennedy said the singer-songwriter's behaviour was at first erratic, then unruly, irate, threatening, irrational and aggressive.

"Ms O'Riordan was very belligerent," he told the court.

"She said 'you are not going to arrest me. I am an icon. I'm the Queen of Limerick, I pay my taxes, I pay your wages. I'm going to sue you'."

Man, when 90s alt rock icons fall, they fall hard, don't they?
