U2 Signs 12-Year Deal With Live Nation

"Daddy's Favorite.....U2" (Randy's Birthday)
U2

U2's deal with Live Nation puts the promoter in business with one of the highest earning bands in the world for more than a decade.

It's a 12-year deal with Live Nation Artists that includes worldwide touring, merchandising, and the band's U2.com Web site. The deal, however, is not a true 360-degree pact, as there is no publishing component and the band retains its relationship with Universal Music to release music. [Billboard]

In related news, a new CD of African U2 covers just came out.

Officially. But they've been sucking Satan's cock for the past 20 years already. This just makes them even more corporate. Like Monsanto. : ) Genetically modified for your listening pleasure.

um, october is still the absolute fire...that is to say, shit's hot.

when i listen to it, i just try to pretend that it's not u2, but some other band who isn't perenially dedicated to defiling their legacy anf forsaking their past.

i didn't know what's his fuck name from Disney, Michael , was such a big U2 fan. he looks really happy in the photo.

as for U2 themselves: they had some punk cred around 25 years ago. now they're the mitt romney of mainstream music.

I can only wait for the day that I have enough to eat, have healthy kids, and am happy. Randy is lucky.
