Dear wire people
   I've been reading all the wire's e-mail things for the last month now
and I've decided that it's time for me to add a contribution. I just
have a couple of comments and questions that I've been wanting to ask
for a while so I may as well get them all out in one post.

   The first thing I want to say is this: I've noticed a lot of posts
lately have really been negative towards the band. "ticket prices were
to much", "big stadiums evens suck", "what the hell are they releasing a
GH album for" etc etc. I get pritty defensive of the band when anybody
says something negative about them because of what they mean to me.
There concerts have been highlights of my life and there songs are so
inspiational and moving that they really are set aside from all the
other bands around. I 'spose I better get to the point. U2 can't please
everbody, If they make a big concert (ie popmart) the tickets are gunna
have to be more exspensive than other bands) but I loved ever pit of
popmart: the lemon, the screen, the animations, set list, the band! and
being that I had to beg borrow and steel to get enough money to go. I'm
glad that they did make the concert so big 'cos I loved ever second of
it! And in regards to the GH album. U2 have never done anything
"mainstreme" or boring before. I can't see them starting now. I'm sure
that the GH album will be as artistic, bazare and brilliant as
everything else they've ever done. There are so many people out there
who have never really stoped to listen to there music, it all kinda gets
lost amoungst all the other crap on the radio. I belive the GH album(s)
will make the band the talking point of everyone again and introduce a
huge amount of new fans. Don't you think that that would be the best
possible way to build up a new album??? Well I've already said more than
I wanted to and if your still reading at this point thanX! I just wanted
to get that off my chest. If you have any comments, critisism (spelling)
or anything else please e-mail me at [email protected] I love
getting e-mail particularly from other u2 fans around the world.

OK a couple of questions I've been wanting to ask for a while:

a) I see heaps of people write about how they've met the band. I'd love
to meet them but I've always been worried about invading there privacy
'cos they must have fans stalking them 24 - 7 trying to get a photo or
autograph or something. they must really get sick of that all the time.
How did everybody out there manage to meet them??

b) does anybody know the australian realease date of the mexico popmart
video???

c) does anybody have the sydney popmart concert in mp3?? I've been after
this for ages but nobody seems to have it!

d) I saw a t-shirt at the sydney popmart concert of an astronaught and
in his visor was a reflection of the moon and bono starting back wearing
his fly glasses. does anybody have a picture of this or this shirt?? I
though it looked soooo cool!

well that's it. If you have any answers to these questions, comments,
critisism e-mail me at [email protected] I'd love to hear from you!.
