U2, I think, is the most overrated band in the history of music (sorry, Jack Johnson). That's why it's surprising that SPIN has awarded them the title of Best Live Band.
Well, it's not surprising. It's just unfortunate. If you think U2 is a great band, whatever, that's fine.
But a lot of people think that U2 is more than a band and Bono is more of a, I don't know, prophet of modern times, than just an arrogant prick of a lead singer. "Oh, look what he's doing for starving children! He's such a saint."
That he spent Thousands of dollars to transport a hat says many contradicting things about the man.
I don't have a problem with Bono. I just dislike when people think of rock starts as "more than" anything. He's a good singer, but he's taken himself to a whole new level, that's not cool.
Get back to work.
