>>On top of this news, she also said that U2 is contemplating leaving
Polygram winding up possibly at Mercury or Sony.<<
Umm....please read on.
1.) Mercury *is part of* PolyGram.
2.) U2 would *never* I repeat --never-- record for Sony.
- ---*TOTALLY NOT THEIR ARTISTIC CLIMATE*---
3.) There is no possible way that a regional sales rep would have a
friggin' clue who McGuinness could even maybe talking to since it's
in breach of contract for him to even entertain other offers at this
point in the band's current contract with Island/PGD.
>>She did confirm that the Popmart Video will be out this fall,
however she said that they have not confirmed a date.<<
According to the local reps in Chicago it's Tues Nov 3.
Cheers -
In The Name Of Love, Patty

Hey! I never claimed that any thing I wrote was fact. I only stated that I
work at HMV and such so that some bastard out there in Wireland wouldn't be
all like "you're so full of shit your eyes are brown" kind of thing. And
anyway, how do you know that a Polygram Rep would never have any sort of
chance to talk up McGuinness? No really... how do you know this. I work
at HMV and I get backstage passes for concerts... just because I work at
HMV. Think about that for a second or two. I can meet U2 just because I
work at an HMV store in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Now if I can do that,
surely a person who works at Polygram and has a love for U2 could have a
talk with ol' Pauly. And as for breach of contract... Miss Lewinsky sucked
big daddy's rooster, which I am sure is a breach of some sort of contract
somewhere. My point is this; Its an imperfect world in which the rules are
not always followed. By your logic, the Discotheque and Wake Up Dead Man
sound clips that were released months before Pop actually did not exist
because that would have meant that someone somewhere broke some sort of rule
or regulation and pirated them for the public. Its funny cause I could have
sworn that I downloaded and listened to them but... but... but... then
again, maybe its just me. Boo!
