I have been watching the MMM special U2 Dismantled. Early in the interview, Bono talks about levels of success and how they are trying to get back to how they were in the beginning,etc. They have addressed this many times. U2 has faced criticism for both staying the same and changing their style.
Is the band having to deal with issues only a handful of other bands like the Stones have had to address and as a result being held to a higher standard despite all their past achievements? Bono seems to be speaking from this sentiment.
Some articles I have read discuss how Bono is becoming a mentor for some younger artists in being a "rockstar". If you compare U2 and the Rolling Stones at this same point in their careers, I think U2 are more relevant than the Stones were at this point. I love the Stones too. But after 20 plus years, U2 has entered territory which few have been. I think they are handling it with grace and still kickin arse for a bunch of old farts.
Peace out.
