Bono and U2 were my rock n roll heroes in the 80s and 90s. Saw many shows during the early 90s ZOO TV tour. Looking at footage from those shows, they literally were rapidly flashing messages like “Everything you know is wrong”, “Watch more TV” “Obey” “Cannibalism is art” etc up on the several dozen massive screens they had placed all over the stage setup. At the time I just thought it was cool and subversive. Right in our faces.
right there with ya. And unlike most fans, I found there POP album to be the best (my favorite anyway). Always loved their music. Wish they woulda just stuck with music (like all performers do) and stay the hell out of politics and telling people how to live. Can't understand why these "celebrities" dont just STFU, perform, and let ppl do their own thinking.
I feel like they were “got to” in the interim between Joshua Tree/Rattle & Hum and Achtung Baby and their subsequent reinvention of themselves. Maybe I’m naive and they sold out long before then but “the change” is very obvious to see in hindsight.
