Even while maintaining its status as one of the few musical acts that can still fill stadiums, U2 is struck by how quickly its world is changing — musically and politically.
Charismatic front man Bono, in a reflective mood as U2 closes the North American leg of its « 360″ tour, notes the different, more polarized atmosphere in the United States since the band performed its anthem, « City of Blinding Lights, » at President Obama’s inauguration in January.
« I didn’t think it could come to this so quickly, after the joyous occasion of that election, » Bono says in an interview on board the band’s plane, as they jet to another stop on the tour. « I thought America was looking good. … Things are getting a little rough now. »
