I agree. He should have stayed home. U2 don't need him. He didn't deserve that ticket. I did.

Hey, Bono, Just Sing
Dan Aquilante
October 26, 2001 -- At their return engagement at Madison Square
Garden, U2 was a finely tuned rock machine, with a squeaky wheel named
Bono at center stage.
Bono, the voice of U2, sang songs about peace, love and understanding
in a city that was the target of hate a month ago.
Over the course of the two-hour concert, between highlights such as
"Bullet the Blue Sky," "Beautiful Day," "Pride" and "Sunday Bloody
Sunday," he expounded on a mishmash of topics.
Early on he praised IRA terrorists for finally laying down their guns.
He kissed an American flag that a kid in the audience waved with
reverence, yet his jacket was lined with a cut-up Old Glory.
He told us to have empathy with Muslims. "They go to church, too," he
informed the adoring crowd.
And he concluded the concert by scrolling the names of the victims of
the four fatal Sept. 11 flights, as well as the names of the police and
firefighters who died in the World Trade Center rescue efforts, on a
large display screen.
Deeds count, not words.
This past weekend he and guitarist The Edge didn't bother to show up
for their scheduled appearance at the Concert for New York City - that
honored those fallen heroes and aided their families.
Bono was so liberal, so politically correct, he made you want to puke
green.
As an outsider, his audacity to think his celebrity gives him the right
to tell us how and when to let go of our anger made the rage hotter. You
wanted to hit him upside the head.
Bono should consider he's not a priest, just a singer. To steal a line
that Bono sang when he was a boy: "If he starts to think, he'll start to
cry."
The music was great. The band played well. I wish I had stayed home.
