Hopefully they realize just what kind of rubbish their blob-wannabe manager is spewing and put a foot down on it otherwise I don't think that they're going to see many sales (outside of the offline fans) as they progress further into the memories of music rather than the makers of new music.

The gap between the haves and have nots is not only widening but the ratio of haves to have nots is getting smaller that is there are more and more poor people relative to the number of rich people. Money isn't enough for this scum they have to have control over our lives too. Was Bono born rich or was did he start out like every other musician just a high school punk who wanted to meet chicks? Does he not remember his roots or has alcohol completely pickled his brain? Does that much fame and fortune and money turn people into heartless zombies?
