U2's privacy

[blueyedpoet]

I know there has been a lot of speculation and some really insensitive posts recently. I just want to give U2 props for keeping their private lives private. In an age when all stars blurt out their lives for the world, it's refreshing that some people value their family's privacy. Unlike Jessica Simpson's divorce, or Britney Spear's parenting, U2 does a really good job of protecting their family and friends.
At least some people in this world have integrity.
p.s. Obviously I'm not trying to start some thread that speculates about their personal lives. That would contradicte the very point.

nah, I think everyone just wanted to keep their replies private, in the spirit of your thread.

Actually, many people probably feel like there's some information that is due to them--for example, the recent illness which contributed to the postponement of tour dates. I'd be willing to bet that many people feel a detailed explanation is necessary. I'm sure U2 is facing lots of pressure to disclose this information, but there hasn't been anything beyond a general statement of "illness" (not to my knowledge anyway). I do think that is commendable.

that's why i said maybe my words are so compelling And, i wasn't really upset with the lack of response; you're right I didn't leave very much unsaid.

indeed, I truly praise Larry Mullen for managing to keep his life very private......I think thats been tough, but he stands out a bit more than the other three with maintaining it.

I can understand, as Im a private person too.


big it up to ya Larry man.
