Bono blames audience for poor sales

25 Oct 2009 07:30:04 PDT

Written by simon h b(noreply@blogger.com)
But, no: Bono and Adam Clayton blame the audience for, apparently, not being smart enough for the record: Bono and company see factors such as the lack of a hit song and the fickle public's need for a "diet of pop" are contributing to this so-called slump.
