Letters: U2 and the rock star conundrum

Great bands versus stardom Regarding “U2 Is Still Out There Looking” [March 16]: The problem with great bands who become rock stars is the business apparatus of the label that tries to milk every dollar out of such stardom. U2 took over the world with seminal tracks such as “With or Without You,” “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” They became obsessed about being popular, hence the “Pop Tour,” which gave me chills, in a bad way, when announced. Something and somebody’s got to pay for the mega mansions. Two nice tracks came out along the way, “One,” and “Beautiful Day,” for the liking of everyone. The necessity of staying in business overwhelmed the necessity of producing something inspired and relevant. Too bad.Michele CastagnettiLos AngelesWide w...
