Thumbs up Lucy for your idea!
Stop letting U2 uses organizations as a means of free advertisement and promotion.
Hi, saw the U2 360° concert in Belgium, it was awesome, can’t wait to see them again!
This should be no surprise. U2 has always been involved in political causes. Can’t wait to see them in the States this summer!
Lucy, you are doing a noble work.
