Cocaine and crack are a bit different. At least I heard they were in
1987. Do try to be more accurate.

Not if he didn't do it on a "regular" basis. Also, any star of the new
biggest band in the world isn't going to get called on anything.
The record company would protect the hell out of him.

Naw, the dressing room is well protected. Official band doctors are
allowed free access to anywhere. They know everybody's secrets anyway.

It is humanly possible to consider heroin a curse and still not have
any problem with weed or worry too much about the ocassional, casual
use of cocaine.

Very ture, I just wanted to show how what you posted could be viewed
in a different way. Maybe it happened and maybe it didn't. Knowing
U2 to the extent I can under the circumstances, I don't think there
is anything to worry about either way.
