Moral: had U2 made both a CD and a venyl record (which doesn't need recording things twice), they had made twice as much royalties. U2 certainly doesn't care how the man were dressed. They want to sell their work as much as possible, either for the royalties, or because they want to spread their toughts/words/music/feelings or whatever drives the musician. Abigail
