I'm doing this for a few reasons.
- When I got to the outer rail in Pittsburgh there was a girl saving a spot for her father. I didn't know that. All I did know at the time was that she was saving a spot. She elbowed me in the ribs repeatedly. I had to ask security to have her stop. In the heat of the moment, I yelled at her. Maybe it was the sharp jab to the ribs, maybe it was the heat... I don't know. But I know I don't want to leave anyone with the impression that I am mean, arrogant, or self serving. I did explain to her father what happened, and thought all was well. Evidently not.
- Not everyone pictured was involved. I didn't mean to cause anyone stress, or hurt their feelings.
- I was told I would be "outed" by the U2 community. I was told to apologize publicly. I was told "your behaviour is inexcusable and disgusting." I really don't want anyone to think I am disgusting.
I really don't know what else to say. I feel anything I write may be the wrong thing.
Some of the people are members here. Some have seen dozens of shows. In a way I feel if they are that well liked, and I don't see them as upstanding as others; then the problem must be with me.
I hope this makes sense.
