Sometimes people just don't want to admit that they are partially responsible for a fiasco - even if it is just on the level of adulation.
U2 will survive this ordeal. Hopefully unscathed.
THE GOAL IS SOUL....

Maybe there was a connection. Maybe there still is one. Certainly they feed off the energy in a concert hall and give the audience energy back. Their music is incredible, personal--it gives the illusion we know them. We don't. And they knew even less of us. We've become an inseparable crowd to them.
I think they are grateful to us in the abstract. But they don't know jacksquat about us except that we love them. I'm sure that love is intoxicating for a while. But like anything, they don't need it as much as they used to. And you don't value what you don't need. And you don't really respect what you don't value.
They are flawed. We were hungry for perfection, absolute love. We are not going to get it. I wish we could expect it, but we can't. These threads aren't about Ticketmaster. They are about a rethinking of the relationship between audience and band. They live in a world we can never understand and we live in one they cannot. For a few brief hours, the worlds meet.
They owe us exhilerating performances and music. That's all.
We owe them appreciation for that. That's all.
Anything beyond that is an act of faith.
I will continue to listen to U2 with much pleasure. But I won't expect them to be anything more than human, with all the heights and lows that entails.
