Music: Re: [u2tour] Glastonbury Boycott

Well said, Michael! Mr. Charlie Pissant just wants some extra publicity for his
organization. They obviously don't know a thing about U2.

U2 is Ireland's biggest export, thus contributing mightily to the economy in
both commerce and employment. Ireland's collapse came from investors and bankers
running up property values and over building, not from U2 moving it's corporate
headquarters. And after all, no mention of how much each member of the band and
everyone employed by the band is paying in personal income taxes. Safe to assume
that they are making a substantial contribution on many levels. Finally, it's
ironic that Art Uncut is an "anti-capitalism" organization. If not for the
capitalist ventures of U2, there would be no income, no profit and subsequently
no taxes to argue over. What are they protesting?
