Just another reason why I won't venture to Times Square...

From BrooklynVegan and Daily News:

They've sung about a place "Where the Streets Have No Name," but Irish rockers U2 will have a street named for them in Times Square Tuesday.

Mayor Bloomberg is expected to rename part of W.53rd St. at Broadway "U2 Way."

The temporary street renaming coincides with the release of the band's new CD, "No Line on the Horizon," and the kickoff last night of their five-night gig on "Late Show With David Letterman."

Besides winning Grammys and being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bono and his bandmates are known worldwide for fighting for human rights and social justice.

What the hell? Times Square already made me want to rip my hair out, but this is the last straw.I despise U2. Especially Bono. He needs to retreat to a cave, never to be heard from again. In what way are U2 affiliated with New York which warrants them to have a street named after them? I'd really like to know.
