But this time it isn't exactly a white flag of peace. The interview with Bono followed a small gig at BBC's Maida Vale studios. But you can tell its changing by the chart positions of pop acts - they are slipping. Much to the delight of worldwide U2 fans, the boys recently peaked at number one on music charts all over the world, beating out several of the bubble-gum pop bands Bono and George were referring to. That tells me things are changing for the better.
People are sick to the teeth of processed and hyped pop bands.
They want something real again and that's where we come in. The tide is turning. Bono also took a shot at Steps, a manufactured pop band that knocked U2 out of the number one position on the UK charts last week, claiming to have no knowledge of the band. Bono is echoing the cries of fans who crave a return to music that is created, played, and performed by the musicians themselves. That's were we come in.
