Cheaper? :)

What a cheery thought...on the other hand, the band have been together for
some 20 years, which is pretty unusual in this age of prefab bands with
limited shelf lives! I personally would like to see them plug away for as
long as they can put up with it (and each other). After all these years,
I would like to see U2 evolve into an "artist" (collective) along the
lines of, say, Van Morrison, Neil Young or Patti Smith--who do their
thing, and don't seem to care much about the hype and fashion aspects of
the music biz...If it has to end, I'd rather see them grow old gracefully
(albeit noisily), and only call it quits when they decide it's time...

Slan,
