@missy @sash @ceres @zely @maevee  @heidimae @vxmpire @stormyent @tulipe @flareh  @cheshi @dojikko @mrshyde Ummm... I spoke to an SG from Montreal - and she said she wasn't a fan of U2.  Personally if I could speak to the band - I would try and arrange something where the SG Community could get a group discount on tickets etc. Near the beginning of the last decade U2 wrote a song called "Big Girls Are Better' - which was my attempt to make a plus size movement and to challenge conventions of beauty that were considered oppressive. Bono's wife Ali - started up a fashion business called Edun (Nude spelled backwards) which I think had an ethical emphasis of some sort. (My life was then hi-jacked and I was silenced from 12 - 13 years - including a couple attempts on my life - and numerous death threats). Well - I am alive today. And if any of the SG Community is interested in activism - I encourage them to join the ONE Campaign. Through his efforts and desire to co-operate with many people that could have compromised the band's "cool" factor - Bono and U2 - has probably raised awareness - and raised more money than any religious organization or governmental organization. Personally if it wasn't for this band's spirit - I would probably be dead - as his voice brought me through some prettyREALLY times. There is a French Canadian Connection through one of his former producers "Daniel Lanois" who is definitely in my list of top 5 Canadian musicians - along with Neil Young and Leonard Cohen.
