How can such a smart person fall for one of U2's best PR stunt's over the last 10 years? Bono had that same back injury for 9 years and he tried everything, including seeking the help of a crank doctor from Germany. However, as witnessed by a few fans late in 2009, it was obvious that it wasn't working. Then the first 6 months of 2010 the band went an unexplained 6 month break, and no one knows why. Why didn't Bono seek medical surgery for his back then? What was he doing, knitting 30 pairs of mittens?
No. I reckon that people such as Benji and Acrobat are right to be suspicious. Yes, he had a poorly back, all right. But he also had a game plan which was to delay the next leg scheduled from June 2010 until the following year so that it coincided with the remastered version of Actung Baby.
Benji said that their would have been no risk from the fragments within the spinal cord canal, only he deflated his argument by becoming increasingly hysterical as the post went on.
Don't get me wrong. I do like Bono very much. But it that doesn't exclude him from being cunning. Michael Eavis no doubt knew this deep down because he's no wally, he's a very shrewd businessman. I met Mr Eavis in August this year when he came to reopen our Oxfam shop. He's paying for the shops rental for a year.
If Bono just had his medical procedure in January of last year and played Glastonbury 6 months latter like U2 (deceitfully) said they would, then they would have stood a better chance. It was dry and sunny last year!
Maybe Glastonbury would be a lesson to U2 that stupid game planning doesn't always succeed.
Doesn't this belong in The Onion?
Here's a conspiracy theory for you: I have it on good authority the name "Bono" is no where to be found on Bono's birth certificate. Why don't you demand to see it!
