I think we all welcome critical reflections on a band we all love. And personally I think that retirement of U2 is neither a "negative," nor a "positive" thing. It will be another chapter if it happens. That's all. And it seems only natural that not everyone will feel the same about it. I think we should all accept and tolerate that from each other.
But right now "U2 retirement" it is only speculation and not really substantiated other than the fact that they're not getting any younger. I wouldn't mind if they continue another twenty year. I had a great time last year seeing the Stones for instance. But I also know that there are die-hard Stones fans who would rather have seen them retire 20 years ago.
And in fact speculation about the Stones retirement is even older than U2 is in buisiness
So speculatate what you want, and feel however you want to feel about it.
