I think their music is OK, I guess. The problem is that Bono and quite possibly the rest of the band are so far up their own arses they’ve completely lost track of the world and the people who live in it.
I can produce many, many examples of U2’s hypocrisy but I particularly like their decision to move their savings away from their *beloved* Ireland where they would get taxed at normal rates and would support that economy and all the worthy causes the Irish Government backs, and put them into tax havens in Holland whilst preaching to the rest of us about giving money to the poor.
It almost rates alongside their attitude to music piracy where they demand their loyal customers foot the bill to pay for CD/DVD encryption to stop people ripping their product.
And how many versions of their last album did they produce? 6? Come on!
Now I know they’re taking the mickey.
