Somehow, we're guessing there will be much more of this sort of writing from the Times' new columnist Bono, who in his debut effort visits a Dublin pub:

Malt joy and ginger despair are all in the queue to be served on this, the quarter-of-a-millennium mark since Arthur Guinness first put velvety blackness in a pint glass.

Following this is more drinking, of wine, from Bono's "hole-in-the-wall" cellar, which we're sure is totally working class and rock n' roll and so forth and not at all plutocratic. Also, five uses of italics , an impaired segue from "miles" of desert to "Miles Davis," plenty more material for Jeff Bercovici to mock, and several song recommendations that we totally tried to find in the iTunes Store.
