    If Bono has the guts, he should donate at least 30% to the Red Campaign and so on.
  6. does this guarantee that they'll be touring for at least another 12 years? Or it might refer to merchandising and stuff... ?

    it means that Live Nation will do all their touring (if there is any) as well as merchandising. I think the deal would include at least 2 tours.
