War Child
Now it's not jealousy, of course I am jealous of EVERYONE male or female that is pulled up but that is not the point. I just get so irritated with the girls wanting to play guitar, and here is why~
I think that on the first and second legs of the tour, Bono pulled up girls to hug, dance, roll, etc. I honestly believe that U2 wanted to switch to the play guitar thing to give equal opportunity to male fans. They know that guys dream of playing guitar with the band as much as girls dream of dancing with Bono. They wanted to make some of those dreams come true. They did, in Chicago, Hamilton, Baltimore and others.
THEN came 'chicks can play guitar too.' SIGH. There goes the neighborhood. Even though U2 wanted to get guys on stage to be fair and equal (I assume) when a girl does that it makes it appear non-PC and 'sexist' to choose a guy instead. So the guys are stiffed once again. Now we see mostly female fans playing guitar and that saddens me. The guys need their turn too, and I wanted to see some more of them have it. If I were Bono I would rather pull NO ONE up and just not worry about it anymore.
Being a girl I can say this and it's not 'non-PC' or 'sexist.' I think if a guy said it he would be flamed. Are there any guys on here who are with me on this? Were you thinking the same thing, like 'oh damn the 'girls' took that away from us too?' Come forward and speak your mind. I did. Rant over.
