A recent report by people who have opened up their Music folder in the last year has found that U2 are still sitting in there without permission.
“For fuck’s sake” says one iPhone user, Bridie (24), who walks at the Betoota Cobb & Co liquor outlet.
“I haven’t ever liked this band. This better not be taking up memory space. How the fuck do I delete it”
The philanthropic Northern Irish/Irish rockstar and frontman Bono still claims to have no regrets about the free release of U2’s last album on iTunes — despite a huge backlash over the stunt.
The Dublin rockers released their 14th album, Songs of Experience, the follow-up to 2014’s Songs of Innocence, in a weird as fuck marketing move that automatically embedded them into everyone’s phone, whether they liked it or not.
“I’m still so off it” says another local, Damien, a local soundcloud rap enthusiast studying finance at the University of Western Queensland’s Betoota campus.
The rediscovery of this controversial album comes after U2’s most recent tour to Betoota was cancelled after poor ticket sales, with locals stating that if they wanted to see them perform live, they would have just waited until the band broke into their private residences and started playing for free.
