crazewire.com: On first listen, U2's new single "Vertigo", released to radio September 24, has nothing to say about war, third world debt, AIDS, or the post-9/11 world it's being released in.
In fact, on first listen, U2's deceptively simple new single doesn't seem to have anything to say at all.

Purported to be part of their response to the 'garage rock' boom of the last few years, the song contains aural traces of The Vines, and The Hives, but also has some pretty signature U2 moments.

undercover.com.au: Irish singer Bono has urged world leaders to help African famine victims by dropping Third World debt.
The U2 rocker insists Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, French premier Jacques Chirac and American President George W Bush would secure a place in the history books if they changed the relationships between the affluent West and their impoverished neighbours in the southern hemisphere.
