(and yes, even though it's just him, I count this as the whole band's fault...I mean, they let him out in public like that smh)
Do you remember the shorts he was wearing paired with a leather jacket on water skies?
It's mind-boggling the lack of self-awareness. Two of the richest white men on the planet touching figures and putting an album on every iPhone. Jesus.

Yes I know all that. It was just a handy shorthand reference because if you ask me the South Park guys caught Bono quite well, circa then.
Sweetest Thing single and video in 98
To me, Sweetest Thing was a sign of things to come - the dawn of the era of the more conservative U2 - more worried about hits and being viewed as the biggest band in the world. The reinvention and artistry which had always been in balance with commerce now seemed to take a backseat to commerce first. Sure I get that they bled a lot of cash with the tours of the 1990s and needed to shore up their finances. But can you really say they have been the same band since Pop/Popmart.
