I hope this does not get merged with other NLOTH reviews as I think a theory from The Times London article is worth considering...
The excerpt is:
"A bizarre historical pendulum appears to be at work here. When the Republican Ronald Reagan was in the White House, U2 made thumpingly earnest and conservative records. Under the Democrat Bill Clinton, they loosened up and embraced sleazy hedonism. With George W. Bush, back to one-dimensional pomposity again. This bodes well for their albums in the Obama era."
Considering U2's love affair with America (and their historical sensitivity with commercial success here), I think this theory has some merit and am hoping that some other analytical folks might dissect.
Any thoughts?
