Back in 92 U2 opened their show by mocking G. Bush... sadly, mocking G. W. Bush WON'T happen on this tour because politicians will be sitting in the luxury boxes, I'm sure. U2 is slowly but surely distancing themselves from the very ideal that brought me to them: their ability to say what they want, when they want. However, taking those chances is too risky nowadays in America, which is exactly why they should take a stand on issues such as war (everyone agrees on the AIDs issue...even Bush, so that doesn't count)... nothing would make me happier if they did. Bust out the white flag...rock the boat. He used to drop f-bombs in defiance of war...now he drops them when he wins a golden globe: I know Bono will bark, but will he ever bite again? This is a perfect time to wake up the world. I hope that they do.
