Page 1 of U2 New Album free on iTunes now

as said on bbc, bit of a surprise

Still too expensive...

Apparently it's been automatically downloaded to people's i-tunes library ??
Haven't checked mine yet, but i don't remember giving my permission or authorisation.

yeh, some ppl at work were talking about that, Apple paying U2 an undisclosed sum for the deal. I'd be annoyed if i had itunes or an apple device, should be an optional download like Amazon, HMv etc do with free music.

Bono’s reply was as follows: “Oops. Um. I'm sorry about that. I had this beautiful idea and we got carried away with ourselves. Artists are prone to that kind of thing. Drop of megalomania, touch of generosity, dash of self-promotion, and deep fear that these songs that we poured our life into over the last few years might not be heard."

"Drop of megalomania,"
Surely not.
Bono?
Megalomania?
Wouldn't even have crossed my mind.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary
