Fine, Scot. But tell me what you would have left out of the show
to fit your two pieces of information in?
To do U2 real justice you'd need a 4 hour mini-series with no
commercials, but that's not likely to happen soon.
They had about 45 mins. to work with if you consider the time
taken up by the commercials. They were great within their limitations.
Besides, they did mention how they found their manager and how
important that was and showed a couple of good photos
of him during the show.
