An American stand up comedian is killing it on stage.

A German Guy asks the guy next to him , "How come we don't have anyone as funny as this guy in my country?"

The other guy goes, "Because you killed them all."

I was going to use something from the appropriate "Tears in Heaven" era but I couldn't pass up that expression.

U2, please use the TM ticket request thing moving forward.

I agree - very smooth process. I just found out as well!

I'm listening to the U2Start podcast from a few days ago with the guy who runs U2Songs... and while I appreciate everything he does say something in the beginning that annoyed me...

He said that he had purchased tickets for the upcoming Bono shows in New York but hasn't committed to going yet.

I know he's not the only fan who does that.

Don't do that.

There are others who know they want to go but can't get tickets.

If you think you can go buy something changes? That's fine, obviously. Shit happens.

But to scoop up tickets as a just in case? No. Don't do that.

This fan community has been so uplifting and supportive over the years, a place where fans can meet and become friends, exchange ideas and their own art, share their various passions.

And yet there is this whole level of superfan that I have nothing but contempt for. I've been seeing these freaks since the Elevation tour. They are people who seem to have no lives outside U2, don't seem to listen to much music outside U2, who feel the need to see a million shows per tour despite the setlists barely changing. They feel entitled to the best spots in GA spaces at every show they attend but want to be exempt from having to do the work of standing in line, and enlist their fellow superfans to fraudulently help them jump the line.

These are the type of people who sat down during the Boston Elevation taping. They're the same type of people who buy tickets they might not use.

I fucking hate these people. What a sorry, narrow-minded, inconsiderate life to lead, which seems to be the antithesis of what you should be getting out of U2's music. You'd think that seeing their lives spread against decades, writing about things going on in various countries, being activists about what's going on in many of them, would inspire fans to maybe like, see more of the world (and I don't mean just going to U2 shows abroad), explore other cultures, volunteer, etc. That doesn't seem to be a priority for most of them, instead just spending all their disposable income and time on following the band tour after tour.

As Bono always says, they've given U2 a great life, it would be nice if they actually had real lives of their own.

There's definitely an entitled set of fans who seem to think it's entirely reasonable behaviour to do things like those mentioned above and behave like they're better than others.

I'm sure all bands have this sort of fan following them though.
