Because more than half of what they are talking about (especially Bono, and he talks most in the book) are all about politics and political events and stuff. It just got really boring for me. To be honest I don't really care that much about they're political side. I support them, It's not like I don't respect what they're doing, but I really only want to read about the music when I read a U2 biography.

Different and alternative, yes. Avant garde, not in my book lol. I think I Will Follow was more avant garde what with the lobbing of the glass bottle...

THanks for posting the article though mate! Was awesome to read.

I skipped that part no, although I'm interested in politics. I just wanted to read about touring and the songs.
