Bono disagrees with McGuinness over In Rainbows

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Earlier this month, U2 manager Paul McGuinness was causing a stir again, this time with comments about Radiohead’s `In Rainbows’ album, claiming it had “backfired” because most people had downloaded it illegally, despite the band’s honesty box pricing model. However, he’s now been contradicted by… Bono! In a letter to today’s NME, he openly disagrees with his manager, calling Radiohead “courageous and imaginative in trying to figure out some new relationship with their audience”. It’ll be interesting to see whose view prevails when it comes to releasing the next U2 album.
