I did not cringe. I think the shirts are a good idea. I wanted to support the Ukraine ambulances by buying a shirt but I just can't afford it. My budget is too tight right now.
Originally posted by iamcrazytonight:I was wondering how popular U2 are nowadays. YouTube views don't necessarily say a lot, but I am quite surprised by the numbers on some recent videos: Bono's solo interview at Colbert just under 1 mil, Bono and Edge's latest Apple Las Vegas interview and NPR tiny desk concert close to 800k and 2.5 mil respectively. Their insta following keeps increasing at a slow rate and Spotify monthly listeners also seems to be on an upward trajectory. With the Las Vegas shows just a few months away, they'll probably get quite a lot of media coverage and headlines again. Media refer to them as one of the - or the - biggest / greatest bands in history, but is this how people in general think of them? I am just wondering what U2 are regarded as by non - U2 fans, how popular they are now and how popular they will be when they retire. I don't know what made me think of all that, but, yeah, feel free to share your thoughts on the matter.

Isn't there a story of Bono driving a random fan around in his car, playing them HTDAAB in full, prior to its release? I remember it being TOTALLY random, very unexpected, and that he played the music very loud.
Could have been NLOTH but I'm not certain. It's really hard to find through Google, for some reason. Probably because I have a key detail wrong or something.
Trying to relay the story and wanted to refamiliarize myself. Thanks!
