Bono, noted Live Nation employee, ducks merger questions from DeRo!
To hear Hitsville tell the story, the nation’s music writers are spending all their time writing positive record reviews, a fact some readers find endlessly disputable!
So why is Jim DeRogatis kicking everyone’s ass in covering the Ticketmaster/Live Nation merger?
U2, you will recall, has one of them-there “360 deals” with Live Nation, though in their case excluding recordings, so maybe it’s a “310 deal.” Here DeRogatis gets Bono to at least address the question. And the famously loquacious singer says …
“I haven’t really spent any time thinking about it. I’m just thinking about this [promoting ‘No Line on the Horizon’] …”
There’s more … the inimitable DeRogatis (with whom I once hosted a radio show) stays in Bono’s face.
I don’t remember Bono being asked about this by the Times or Rolling Stone.

He hasn’t thought about it? He HASN’T THOUGHT ABOUT IT? Bono will go down in history as a man who has worried a lot about poverty- primarily his own.
I read that on DeRo’s blog yesterday. Hilarious.
