Are U2 Hypnotists or Something?

They must be given the number of people that go insane for them. I just don't get the appeal.

I was forced to listen to the radio in the car the other day as I forgot to bring any CD's down. As a result, I got to hear this silly twat prattle on about how U2 had sold out 4 shows in Toronto and if you were not competent enough to have gotten a ticket already online, you would just have to shell out around 300 bucks to a scalper. This was said with NO HINT OF IRONY.

First of all, if you would shell out 300 bucks for ANY concert you need your head checked. If perhaps they had raised some performer from the dead for a one night only engagement, maybe. But U2? The new album sounds like they threw a bunch of reject songs from the early nineties together just to have something released. And Bono is so self-important now, I would not be surprised to hear he's been appointed the new Pope.

Congrats to those who were "not competent enough" to get those tickets. Let's hope your incompetency remains intact and you keep your 300 bucks in the bank.
