U2
Get lost behind giant lemon on PopMart tour
1997
It's hard to imagine now, but just a few years ago, Bono and the lads felt insecure about their place in the world. "What can we do to make people like us again?" they asked themselves. "Eureka! We'll play bad synth rock on a huge stage set designed like a McDonald's! As an ironic statement on pop culture! And if that still doesn't work, by golly, we'll just have to emerge from a revolving forty-foot lemon!" Surprisingly, the plan failed. Although the lavish PopMart set cost $1.5 million a week to keep on the road, shows had to be canceled due to poor ticket sales. The Denver show sold barely half its 55,000 tickets. Happily, U2 came to their senses and returned with their best album, lemon-free.
