well-meaning, no doubt

article: stage gets set for u2 in new zealand
u2 will play on friday and saturday night at mt. smart stadium. u2 were due to play in auckland in march, but had to postpone the concerts after a close family member of the band fell ill. site coordinator toby flemming said he was pleased the band had rescheduled the tour. "bono loves his stage and i'm proud of them honoring their word and coming back. there's a tremendous cost in cancelling concerts. it cost them a lot to cancel and come back. the band is all heart and soul."

chris knox (tall dwarfs), says: "i'm not a u2 fan although i liked a few things i heard on zooropa and pop when they went a little more bent, and there was one track that made me think maybe they'd been listening to tall dwarfs....i also think bono is a self-righteous, smug and uppity little irishman. well-meaning no doubt, but you know."

remember when rock stars were pompous dicks who punched-out photographers and stormed off stage mid-show because they just didn't care? are you ever nostalgic for those days?
