Wouldn't you resent being held as a paid captive audience then, or do you only defend it because you like Bono and you agree with him? What if the shoe were on the other foot?

Like if I supported the IRA and the band launched into Sunday Bloody Sunday? Or if I supported America's policy in South America in the 80's and the band started playing Bullet the Blue Sky. Or I loathed Aung San Suu Kyi, and U2 played Walk On.
U2 are a political band. You should know this when you enter the arena/stadium to see them play. If you're afraid Bono may say something in concert that offends you politically, then don't see U2.

Thanks, U2Girl, for clarifying that this thread's author was already on a pro-life rant in a more appropriate forum. It confirmed, for, me, what I suspected as I read the thread.
The topic of this thread is not about a "friend" attending a concert who might be offended if Bono slips any political comments in. Anyone that freaking "delicate" better stay at home with the TV off for the next 3 months, cause there's going to be a lot of bashing and people (entertainers) saying things that he won't like. David Letterman's monologue might make him weep openly.
Rather, the author is seeking to start a platform here about Bono having any views at all that he expresses in concert, and how offensive they are if one happens to disagree, as he obviously would on some.

NO! I mean say you, BVS or Anitram went to a concert by hypothetical band X because you enjoyed their music, and right in the middle of the show, crunched there in GA, you had to listen to them rant on about abortion being evil murder like I do, or that everyone should have a gun, or that no gays should get married! Then wouldn't you feel like a 'paid captive audience?'

I will contain what I really want to say to U2girl since it is off topic to this thread which I am NOT the author of! I was the author of the late 'people are starting to hate Bono' thread if perhaps you were confused. If you think I am 'katiegoo' the newbie, if you think I made myself a new name to start this thread, you are mistaken, and that can be proven by any mod.
