U2 should get kudos for longevity and consistency (20 years of reasonably good music, overall)...as well as social activism...but their presence (as well as anyone else's)at the Grammy's is simply a function of the industrial/entertainment complex's periodic attempts at self-glorification. Speaking for myself, and any serious music lover I have ever know (meaning anyone who doesn't automatically accept whatever the radio/MTV spews out),
the Grammy's are irrelevant...and they always have been.
