    Exactly , if Coldplay did it, it might be half hate half love ,since they are similar to U2 in that it's a love or hate kinda relationship

    Such an overlooked, undertaught and vitally important lesson. Can you just see one of these kids getting their wages garnished and complaining that their rights have been violated?
    don't get me started on Mellenials and their "rights" lol! I tend to be more of a "suck it up" type of person who isn't quick to put blame on others. Society is waaaaaaaaay to sensitive

    If it was Kanye, Jay-Z, Katy Perry, etc... they'd be garnering maximum praise and be called innovators...

    Agreed also, I'm becoming a real fan of these encore videos from the likes of Stephen havwking and Desmond tutu because at least they're not really taking up time, the band would be having there encore break anyway so it kills two birds with one stone. The video screens should be used more for messages as well in general and let the band play the songs which themselves have messages and meanings within.
    Great point. Use the down time to get it out there. I work in Project Management so I'm all about efficiency

    While Adam goes to the Loo, here's a message from TuTu.....#DadJoke

    I like this I think U2 should use the massive screens they have in most Productions just for worded speeches where the crowd can choose to read or not and leave the band to actually play the songs.

    I am only 23 years old and I can guarantee you that I'm more mature than that 90 of my generation. I appreciate the little things in life clean water and food places sleep at night and I don't scratch this s**** when I don't get my Christmas presents. This generation is full of kids that spend way too much time on social media and their little minds are getting crowded with crap. I Avoid social media and negativity and watching the news, little snot noses about half of my town actually don't work and us taxpayers pay for them....another off topic post but, this world is getting worse, it's up to us to change it and parents to teach their kids actual meaningful lessons in life less time on the f****** iPads
