I don’t know why I called this entry “Pro Bono”. Tickets to the recent U2 Concert here in Toronto certainly were not free!
Arguably the biggest Band in the world today (with the possible exception of the Rolling Stones) U2 has notched up sales of over a 145 million records and has been awarded a total of 22 Grammy Awards (more than any other band.)
Regardless of what you may think of the group, they have attracted legions of loyal fans worldwide. And throughout their career the band has collectively and individually campaigned for human rights and social justice.
Right now, we have a group of backpackers all the way from Mexico City who have come to Toronto for the sole purpose of attending the U2 Concert!
Some of these fans have followed the group to Hawaii and beyond and plan trips to other venues on this current world tour.
They had excellent front-row seats at the Rogers Center to watch frontman Bono in his performing role when he isn’t busy telling world leaders how to solve world poverty or the AIDS Pandemic. Front row seats were earned by our Mexican friends by lining up at the ticket office all night in Mexico City!
The reviews of last night’s concert was universally positive. They put on a fantastic show! All of our Mexican visitors aver that it was well worth the trip to Toronto!
