Music: RE: [u2tour] Rumor: OneRepublic opening in 2011

We got Kanye West in Melbourne, Australia.

I can't say I ever liked him and I neither like him less or more since
seeing him live. That being said, it was not very good.

I don't see why support acts play at concerts; I pay to see U2 - not someone
else, especially if they aren't very good.

However at the end of the day I guess U2 may be trying to give other artists
a chance to get a footing in the music world. Let's face it, like them,
they had to start somewhere!

Garbage was supposed to open the Baltimore show in 2001, then they bailed
and we got Graham Parker instead.
Weak!!!!
