My girlfriend suddenly had an epiphany of "OMG U2 is cool" once we watched Under A Blood Red Sky. IDK if it'd work for 13 year old, but hey, they do look really cool during the War Tour.
Pretty sure U2 and Oseary knew what they were doing.
They figured they would initially take a little bit of a hit but ultimately the long-term yield was totally worth it.
Also, if a 14 year old kid somewhere on the planet, all of sudden discovers U2, like what he/she hears & decides to pick a guitar or form a band because of it...need I say more.
They knew what they were getting into. It's just that Guy O toughened them up before negotiations began.

My only question re: those who are so upset that some people didn't like it is this... why do you care?
The irony of ironies is the complaining about the complaining in a forum that has featured exclusive complaining for about 3 years.
That people who don't like U2 don't like this stunt is not surprising, and clearly the band anticipated it as well.

Well, at least no one on this earth is planning to file a lawsuit on Apple and U2 for this stunt (which is a good thing, right?)

Is this a real question? Would you go on a sports message board and ask why one would care if people are trashing their team?
Would you go into a Political forum and ask why people care that the "other" party is trashing them?
Would you go onto an Apple/android forum and ask why people care that people are trashing their device?
Would you go onto a religious forum and ask why people care that some people are trashing their religion?
The point is, all of the above topics invoke passions to different extents to different people. To many people, myself included, U2 is a passion. Their songs have given us hope, excitement through the years..decades.
What also gets people going is the actual statements. If someone were to say I don't care for U2, most wouldn't care but when someone says that Bono should die a terrible death well, yeah, that pisses me off. I don't sign up on message boards and get in fights but I come here to talk about it with fellow fans. It's more a matter of debate and conversation.
If you don't care, that's fine, I respect that but to ask why people would care seems a bit detached from reality.

Confirms my belief that there are just a certain number of people on the planet who are clueless and just plain dumb.
How many people have purchased PCs and laptops in the past that came with free music tracks, free video clips, and free photo images in the MyMusic, MyVideos, and MyPictures folders on Windows Explorer. I know I have. I didn't waste one nanosecond going on a crusade to start some kind of movement like it was a human rights violation or an international crime. Sheesh.
Yep. Long ago someone said "There's no such thing as bad publicity" although I think there is, this probably isn't it. The "how dare you gift me this free album!" crowd are probably drawing some folks attention, as in -- "What free album? Where can I get it?"
Because I'm in so deep with U2 that I feel people are talking about my actual family.
So the person who understands that not everybody is going to like his favorite things is the one who's detached from reality.
