U2 marks 50th, surprises school
1d
U2 celebrated their 50th anniversary with a surprise concert at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin, performing hits like "With or Without You" for students and passersby.
I can still remember the first time I saw them at a gig inTh L in the Arts block at @ucddublin.bsky.social in 1978. Begrudgers can feck off. I’m proud to be a U2 fan

A decent appraisal of the ethics & politics of U2. We begrudge their success too much.
U2's Irishness has gifted them moral clarity on many issues.
If Ed Sheeran were Irish he wouldn't be as lost as he is.

Opinion: U2 are sometimes dismissed as do-gooders, but the last 50 years have proven it is no act

Macklemore’s dismissal from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour is a sign of how supine the modern music industry has become
