The Fly
After pictures of Bono hawking Amex and every other corporate logo under the sun at the World Economic Forum, it is shocking to see the band is playing dates in South America. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Venezuela (host country of this year's World Social Forum, which is the World Economic Forum for the developing world (and the Forum that Bono should be at if he truly supports emerging economies)) all have left-wing governments! Right now politically, I don't think U2 belongs in South and Central America - a land they once supported and sung about in their music (and gained a lot of attention for their support) but have come to dismiss it in recent years because it does not suit their current political missions. Bono won't (actually, CAN'T) work with the governments in SA like he does the West, but he will bring the band there to go make some more money on a tour that has already grossed more than enough.
Just a thought.
