I agree with Ace as well. I don't know for a fact that U2 doesn't help its home country in any way, but with Ireland being in the dire straits that it is, you'd think a band so hell-bent on "saving" every other country in the world would look in its own back yard.

And the fact that they don't, no wonder their own hometown despise them. You should hear the audio of Henry Rollins talking about how he despised U2. All the people in the crowd (where he was performing spoken word in Ireland) cheered very loudly to it.

what artist helps their own country first??? give me a break are we kidding with that statement? serious? What AMERICAN born artist is donating here? I cant believe that was an actual comparison, please tell me that was a joke, there are artists that do NO form of giving here, reap its rewards and then do charity for every other country, and screw "dire straits".

As for Henry Rollins hes a dick, not for that, but just for his whole existence he has been a straight up dick worth nothing, he is beyond a hypocrit himself, hes a liar and a scumbag which is worse. As for Ireland hating u2, MOST of that HAte has been there since they became a world band and starting selling, same reason they hated Elton in England and why they despised INXS in australia after KICK till Michael died then all of a sudden they were fans again.

Didn't Prince give $200,000 or so to certain charities?

Tiny Paul's a huge phony. The only time he lies is when his mouth is moving.

Can you tell I'm not a fan?
