Never would have thought I'd see that. You would think that being on the board he would be expected to be "brand loyal", so out with the Gibsons, including his beloved Explorer. Huh!

I'm sure there will be fans that will call them sellouts. Then there are those fans that would continue to worship Bono no matter what he did. I remember commenting to a hardcore fan that I lost interest in U2 after the Joshua Tree because fankly I thought the new music sucked - give me War or Boy any day!! You would have thought I had just denounced all that is held scacred in the world...yikes! Somewhere in the rant that followed she said something to the effect of Bono's voice was from the angels and anything he sang or said was sacred. Uh huh!!
