Re: [u2tour] Glastonbury Boycott

U2 pays lots of taxes in Ireland. Only a part of their business was moved, and I have no doubt that any extra cash is being used to finance the ONE campaign, DATA, and other endeavours for the good of all people. They give more away than others in their position: not just moeny but time as well. U2 are the good guys, people just like pissing on tall trees.
