I wonder how many kids in Africa Bono could have saved with that money. Or is it only American tax dollars that Bono thinks will save lives?
All that? For ME??? You guys rock!!1!
It's your money, my man. Spend it on whatever you like and don't let the collectivist fascists have any say.
Too bad they don't load the equipment on wagons and hire illegals to push the wagons from gig to gig. Think of the positive publicity that would gather.
Limo liberals!!!
Could it be that members of U2 are setting up their own little ‘estates’ onstage? You have the lead vocalist estate, the drummer estate, the bass player estate and the lead guitar estate...it’s like their own little neighborhood or universe.
However, it’s acreage seems to be expanding. Could it be that they can no longer stand the sight of each other? To an enthusiastic audience it looks like they’re oh-so cozy and hunky-dory up there...
“Ahhh, we should ALL live so ‘togetherly’...Imagine the music WE could make, changing the world as we bring to it a generously spread harmonious magic throughout the global community.”
Yeah, right! Even when it’s supposed to be just business as usual, there’s a point at which the working man and his closest associates’ relationships begin to change...I would not be surprised to learn that some members of bands like U2 actually hire bodyguards and lawyers to protect themselves from each other.
It is striking to then realize the “going under”, however willing or unwittingly, of audiences who can’t imagine the possibility of there being trouble in “Paradise”.
Save your money. Don’t go to the show.
'No Line on The Horizon' started at number 1 and after 23 weeks is currently dipping down to number 87 on the Billboard 200. I know they are still a popular band, and probably have no problem selling tickets, but I don't hear them very much on the radio- could just be that I'm not listening to the right stations. Still, it seems like David Byrne is doing them a favor by taking a couple of shots at them in this article.
How long before they lip synch?
Meanwhile the elite fly around the world in private jets and take limos to their multimillion dollar, gigawatt-hour-consuming stage to play cool music.
1) Who cares? It’s their stage, their money, etc.
2) How can people listen to such bland, boring dreck anyway?
says oddball Byrne from his 10 million dollar apartment on Manhattan's posh but cool upper west side or from his estate near Brewster.
i know he has a kid but I bet he's gay
