Interesting piece.

Do you remember how suddenly Bono and U2 became unfashionable?

They went in a flash from being a slightly over the hill band whose biggest hits were behind them to suddenly everyone saying how awful and cringe they were. Why was that?

It's interesting. I do think people get a bit turned off by the campaigning.

But I will also say that in some ways their music and style don't seem very in tune with the zeitgeist. They seem a bit try-hard and yet out of step with current trends.

And I should add - I'm not sure that's a fair way to think of them, I suspect they are pretty normal people really.

The usual hypocritical megarich tax "efficiency" stuff, I think. Getting an album added to everyone's iTunes whether they wanted it or not certainly didn't help.

There was some sort of tax expose, if I remember rightly. People were already pissed off with Bono's endless preaching, and then it turned out there were some offshore shenanigans.

That pretty much killed the whole thing.
