U2 and tours

-- [ From: Patricia Hefner * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --

I know that Bono made that statement about the fans paying for Popmart
about whetehr or not they can afford to tour.....egads, of course they
can, and could have before landing this juicy deal. Sure they lost a
fair amount of $$ on some crummy investments, but when you've pulled in
$500 million, hey, it's a drop in the bucket. Read the newest article on
pleeker's website for this info. (Hey, great web site--I don't know that
URL dammit!. I hate to sound so crass, but hey, it's part of the
territory, and you want the record set straight.

Pax,
