Perhaps I have moved on (which I don't think I have) but I am saying that there a inordinate number of circumstances that have coincided with this tour that have helped form my opinions and left many fans I know scratching their heads. As far as blaming the band "all the time" that is a exaggeration and an irresponsible one. I have been around a while with this band and there is definitely a (some would argue not so subtle) shift in what appears to be their priorities and way of operating. To ignore and say "well the show I went to was great", I feel is uninformed. Not to say that everyone that claims there is a difference is right on target...but there is a change. Good or bad, I will leave to be argued in another thread ad nauseum.
Regardless, I think it is fair to say that there is a convievable way that someone that doesn't exist in a U2-centric universe (like Sharon Osbourne) could come to the conclusion that this tour is boring. And saying they should be shot (understandably a metaphor - but a metaphor for completely disregarding her opinion and experience while virtually calling her a plum idiot) is a bit of an overstatement...and a knee jerk reaction that KEUF is making so famous.
And that is not a personal attack, just a pattern I have noticed.
