First introduced to the worldwide liquor trade only six years ago, Baileys, a sweet blend of chocolate, cream and whisky, now outsells such established after-dinner favorites as Cointreau and Grand Marnier.

But U2 simply superimposes these effects on the music when they should give the changes precedence. The Dublin sound was fresh and new but rapidly stagnating. Though U2 gained a foothold in the American market by accenting their insular origin, they must develop something beyond their formula to hold onto their popularity. Otherwise they will suffer the fate of ephemeral bands like the Knack and glide right back into obscurity...
