Actually, it clarifies a few things up for me. I admit my plank and tongue comment was a bit stern, but when I read the "excellent christian behavior" comment I just took that really personally and reacted, rather than respond.

In particular, I wanted to hear how Bono sounded singing the two Michael Jackson songs. As I expected, he's not Michael, but he was better than I thought he would be.

Now that i know that u2 chooses to redefine the word i'll be certain to remember that. you didn't get a bootleg, you got new slang. glad i helped you remember to let everyone know that your "bootlegs" are actually legal. i'm okay with being ignorant about the fact that u2 changed the definition to suit themselves. i was utterly amazed you would admit to buying bootlegs hence, my comment. not so far out. nope, there's no plank. i don't feel bad at all. i suppose unless you frequent the u2 site where they say they basically use the term for the sake of ease you woudn't know they redefined the word. what? one out of a hundred might come up with a definition of bootleg other than – "Bootleg or bootlegging usually refers to making, transporting and/or selling illegal alcoholic liquor or copyrighted material; the term originates from concealing Hip flasks of alcohol in the legging of boots," and "Bootleg recording, an otherwise unavailable audio or video recording distributed without the artist's consent."
