You know what I meant -- to imply that one of the hippest, most famous bands in the world is holding a fundraiser just for one particular candidate is nothing more than an attempt at making him look cool because U2 is associated. Despite how easily the distortion is proven, some people will still believe it. I guess that would go for the over 35 crowd as well. But I've been to a few U2 shows. There are tons of younger people there also.
STATEMENT BY JAMIE DRUMMOND, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DATA (debt AIDS trade Africa), THE AFRICA ADVOCACY GROUP CO-FOUNDED BY BONO:
"Throughout the U2 tour, politicians from both sides have been organizing fundraisers at the venues or around specific shows. Neither DATA or Bono are involved in these and they cannot be controlled. The U2 concerts are categorically not fundraisers for any politician - they are rock concerts for U2 fans."
