So it looks like from youtwo.net that U2 will appear at halftime of the Super Bowl. YUCK. Playing tunes to a bunch of non-fans. Perhaps Britney and Justin will join them for a duet ala Aerosmith. YUCK.
This Elevation tour has REALLY run its course. It should have closed up shop after Slane, after 80 hard-hitting dates with exciting setlists, 23 song concerts, tons of energy. Is it just me or does it seem:
(1)U2 is desperate to sell more records. Perhaps McGuinness swindled their money away or they donated it all to Bono's drop the debt campaign but U2 seem really grabby for cash at the moment - and consequently will demean themselves and their legacy with these embarrassing promotions.
(2)U2 is equally willing to clutch onto anything "American" in the wake of 9/11. Yeah, rah rah USA..okay, enough already. I'm tired of my favorite band - from Ireland - inexplicably declaring themselves
chief mourners. U2 - once a brash political band - is now so political correct it is almost sickening. Posting the names of the passengers on their video screen is tacky and unnecessary. Read a great review of their LA show in the news section of atu2.com for a viewpoint I completely agree with.
