SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones) -- Live Nation Inc. has reached a 12-year deal with U2 that gives the U.S. concert promoter exclusive rights to produce the Irish rock band's concerts, manufacture and sell its merchandise, license its image and run its Web site and online fan club, according to a media report Sunday.
Lots of other stuff to talk about with regard to this deal, but the prospect of a different---and better?---u2.com is what struck me.
