>My English book has also a picture of U2 when it >refers to the
BRITISH CULTURE (England)!!!!!
>I think the heart of the four guys is only IRISH!!! >And they hate
England!

well, i hope people will correct me if i am wrong, but i believe 3 of
the 4 members of U2 are Protestant and hence 'marked' as descendants
of the English settlers in Ireland.
By all the talk of U2s 'Irishness' it seems this fact is usually
overlooked. I doubt the band 'hate England'
especially as they choose to gig there every tour! ;)
