The huge screens are flashing international road signs, icons and a sequence featuring an ape evolving into a man pushing a shopping cart. This is the only town in the United States where they're not going to notice a 40-foot lemon. A city where dreams come true. The crowd near the front was jumping up and down as if the floor was electrified. It's not as if we've opted for the 'pop' format.
Pop singles are very boring - pap is probably a better word.
It was impossible to predict that just over a decade later, Jackson would be publicly shunned owing to a series of child-molestation charges and U2 would embrace pop music entirely, naming their album Pop and creating a touring shrine to popular music and disposable culture called PopMart. U2's PopMart world tour opens and U2 begin their reign as the new kings of the medium. From here, the PopMart flies on to San Diego, the next stop on a long tour that will take them all over North America, South America, Europe, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa, including a stop in war-torn Sarajevo. Let's just say that if the band ever tires of touring, we know a place that's already getting millions of visitors a year. If you can think of someone more worthy of that title, you just name them.
