About the only band from that 'era' still relevant is U2, and i think that has more to do with sheer size and inertia than actual relevance.
(that said if any member of U2 gets called out for this i will die a little inside.)

U2 is not really relevant anymore either....they get by on largely Nostalgia. I doubt fans could even name more than a few songs off their last few records, and less "hits".

This was proven with the fact that the last tour revisited Joshua Tree...since that's one of their great albums.

I believe Bono was called out for hiding a lot of money in tax havens, which is pretty terrible given the emphasis he puts on charity.

Yep. This just makes his whole attempt to dismiss it as "You weren't there, it's not like they said it was" thrown into a whole different light.

He needs to own it, and apologize post-haste.

If he really wanted to do this without challenging/trying to undermine #MeToo, he wouldn't be using a fucking hashtag.

Awesome. Instead of Gatorade the big orange coolers will be filled with Ciroc vodka. My favorite flavor would be birthday cake with marshmallow a close second.

Have fun and smile.

I'm sure this guy is really punished with the 2 billion he stands to make a big chunk of at age 81.

T.J. Miller now (you may know him from the show Silicon Valley on HBO). And Gene Simmons from rock band KISS earlier. Neither of which are a surprise. Matt Damon getting hit hard for comments he made. Both him and the new Batman knew about Weinstein.

This thing is like the energizer bunny now. It just keeps going and going and going .....
