Yeah, this is really one of those times when all I can say is, "Well, they mean well?"

yeah, hopefully, so few people will wear them at the first show that the band just drops the idea.

"Wear it to work or college. Wear it on the bus or the train. Wear it in the pub or at the shops."

I bet there are going to be a lot of reports of Aung San Suu Kyi being beaten up over the next few months.

Wow, that is really corny. My bet is they drop it between the European and US legs.

OK, so how many of you are going to be dutiful U2 fans and do this? Wear it on the train or to work!

I dare you to wear it when you go to the bank.

If everyone in the stadium puts on the mask how will we know who's who's?

I hope this is just turned into a voluntary gold coin donation by the time they get to Australia.

Where does the comment form at the bottom put your message?

Perhaps we all can give our opinion and they can come up with something else..

Oh man, the crap that the band and fans will get if it doesn't...

Can the band not see how this political stuff isn't good for the shows? The Africa speech and now they want us to wear homemade masks.

BEAL · 06-26-2009, 01:54 PM

How did they think that we'd go for this? I'm sure a few people will do it (I'm not one of them). Couldn't they have just taken a 10 second break in the song or something, like right before the song builds up at the end (before the All that you....etc).....Larry is slowly building the beat, and the screens show her face for a few seconds....only to fade out and blast off!

This is just so lame. I don't see how Edge, Adam, or Larry, or anyone could have thought this will be great!

Oh my god.

In other words....WTF were you thinking, Bono?
