He couldn't convince Shrub to give money to South African's suffering from AIDS, so I highly doubt that he could help get Fannie Mae off your ass.

Everytime I see/hear them, I turn off what ever they are on. Egotistical is absolutely right. Big sell-outs, IMO.

Exclamation Even though...

I am a U2 fan, The Rolling Stones did the exact thing years ago...The results can be seen in the music video of the song "Brown Sugar" from their flatbed truck concert.

HELLO - they are rock stars and are amongst the biggest ever - that ilk is not known for their slight egos

Also, I love U2 and say if it ain't broke don't fix it - this stunt worked for Where the Streets Have no Name in the 80's and it worked here

Finally, how can anyone that Stevie has has had a wrap party for be anything but good

I hardly think Stevie would appreciate the whole band and the trio of background singers playing on her ass as she walked the streets of New York.

(I'm only joking, folks.)
