I'm not reading the thread but being in favor of communism works in theory, but in practice (lol) all these settlers will actually lose their quality of life if we were to have a revolution since we would have to dismantle imperialism and the benefits it provides. Few westerners are going to accept that, and so they will choose the treat button 9/10 times. Revolution happens in places where they have nothing to lose but their chains, but losing brunch and U2 at the Vegas sphere is not gonna fly
Lol could’ve picked any other band
No, it's perfect. It's the archetypical band whose live performances are bombastic and completely superfluous (therefore wasteful), in the dumbest, most unnecessary venue possible.
I didnt know U2 was that popular, Im a bit young (23)
I can't blame you, they've been irrelevant for almost 20 years now. Back when they were big, they were well known for putting up these hugely expensive, elaborate, high-concept live shows, that really pushed the limits of what people thought a concert could be.
But now, they're creatively spent, and just use expensive gimmicks to justify the crazy prices their mostly Gen X audience can afford to pay for their shows.
It really felt like the perfect choice, I stand by it!
