I don't know what disturbs me more: The whole situation, which is tragic enough, or that some fans seem to find it funny and "can't wait for it to go to trial", which is simply a horrible idea. I hope it never goes to trial, it would get uglier and uglier. I hope they find some way to settle this and sort it out. And that B and E do indeed respond and show that they are willing to accept their mistakes. But as I said in the other thread discussing this issue: I find it wrong to put all the blame on one side here, be it Taymor or B&E. I'm sure mistakes were made on both sides. Fans are sometimes too harsh and quick when it comes to blaming and bashing the band, Bono in particular. We don't know the truth, we weren't there, it's her word against their word and there is obviously a lot of emotion involved, bitter feelings never make for an objective judgement of a situation like this.
And many fans on other forums - and also people in other forums discussing this issue - are saying that a. Taymor is going forward with this now that the musical has turned out to be a success and there's a lot of money involved and b. It's obviously the musical became better and ended up being a success after she was fired. So I would be a bit careful before totally jumping on B&E and putting all the blame on them. Taymor is surely a successful and intelligent woman and Broadway professional, but I'm sure she's not the innocent one here and surely has a hidden agenda.
And as for the Bono drunk story: That's the only part that I personally find funny and I find it totally blown out of proportion. Some fans say they like this story because it finally shows Bono as the rock star he's supposed to be. And quite frankly, I think it's really lame to bring up this single story to show Bono's "unprofessional" behaviour. I'm not saying it's fine for anyone to behave like that, but there coud be much worse things and as far as I've seen from her claims, most of her complaints are based on pure speculation.
Anyway, when this goes on and goes to trial, there will be only losers, no winners. There are already losers, this has become personal and I find it very regrettable and cannot see anything funny there.
