Bono Reacts To U2 iTunes Invasion Backlash

10/15/2014
. (Radio.com) U2 is nothing if not self-aware, and that's especially true with frontman Bono. So when the band solicited questions from fans via their official Facebook page, they were probably anticipating a question about their surprise release of Songs Of Innocence, which (as you may have heard) showed up in millions of people's iClouds, whether they wanted it or not.

And they did indeed get such a question: a fan (or maybe a former fan) named Harriet Madeline Jobson asked Bono, "Can you please never release an album on iTunes that automatically downloads to people's playlists ever again? It's really rude."

Bono's response started out rather glib: "Oops." "I'm sorry about that," he continued. "I had this beautiful idea, we might have gotten a bit carried away with ourselves. Artists are prone to that kind of thing." Read the rest of his response here.
