"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

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.

or seven years. whatever.

i hope one day i have some kind of huge family argument in which i can find a reason to yell "My wife is Bono. She is not Larry."

when dolores expresses doubt, her husband will often say: "Someone is thinking like a Larry today. Are we a Larry?"

poor larry. kind of a bigger dis to be called an adam, if you ask me.

"Madam, I'm Adam"
"O no, be Bono!"

i think Adam dating Naomi Campbell in the '90s was what put Larry on the bottom of the totem pole in the public's mind

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
