Ken Sunshine can't be a real name.
his name made me smile... i think it's a great name, but has to be fake for sure!

Ha, where does it say anywhere in that article that Bono is throwing Taymor under the bus? It just said he's taking a role in the talks. Maybe he's there passionately defending her, and trying to help her stay on as director? Who knows.
This is nothing but rampant speculation, but who's to say that Bono hasn't been trying to convince Julie to step down or make drastic changes or whatever for months? Just because he's now being mentioned as being in the negotiations/discussions doesn't mean he's all of a sudden not on her side and throwing her under a bus.
here's Michael Riedel's take on it...
ok so flame me, but i agree with him that Bono and the Edge are equally to blame for the whole fiasco... "every artist is a cannibal", yeah, so it seems! it looks like they're eating Julie to survive!

At no time has your signature been more apt.
Should I change it to: Beware the Bus-Throwing-Undering Hand of Bono?

I remember one quote in particular a while back where they said they were not fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber and other great musical composers. They said it like they could teach those greats something. I think they came in arrogant.
she directed The Lion King - she won a Tony award for "best direction of a musical" for her work on the show
Really guys, Bono and Edge are equally to blame?
How much blame do you think they should get, BVS?
I will be very dissapointed if all this in any way pushes back the release of the new album
Do we actually have any idea of what their involvement beyond the music has been? Yeah, Bono's been involved in previews and meetings and whatnot, but we probably won't ever know what his conversations with Julie or anyone else were behind the scenes.
Maybe he and Edge were trying for months to convince her that it was a mess. Maybe they actually believed it was just fine. Maybe beyond the music they haven't actually had much say or pull in the matter (which would surprise me).
Unless we actually know that kind of thing, I don't think we can say how much blame they have, or whether Bono's tossing Julie under the bus.
Not that that will stop anyone else from pointing fingers and being all LOLBONO, but that's internet life in 2011.
If the album isn't done yet, then there's no way it's coming out any time in the near future, and it probably wouldn't be coming out soon even if Spidey had opened on time.
BUT
If previous information/comments made are correct, the album was mostly done a few months ago, and yet another Spidey delay ain't delaying shit in U2 world.
