What's the deal with all these people looking to kcik others off the list
because they don't like thier opinions...If that's the way someone feels
so be it...I have to admit I don't like the idea of releasing greatest
hits albums, especially when a new song is put on it. It is selling out
and to be completely honest all groups do the same damn thing when they
get to the point that U2 is at in their careers...
I happen to think U2 would do more justice to thier hits if they'd release
live albums, not videos (can't listen to them in the car). Just ask fans
of The Dave Matthews Band, a group that already has two live albums out
with a third coming in January. As much as I love U2 and thier music I
feel that they could definitely be better to thier fans...Well I'm sure
I'll hear comments from people so I think I'l stop now and leave the rest
of what I have to say for the flames that are surely coming my way.

P.S. its finals time so that could be the reason I'm in a testy mood.
