Maybe you hate Apple foisting things upon you without your consent.

All fair responses to the unprecedented release of U2’s new album, “Songs of Innocence,” which IS in your purchased bank whether you like it or not.

If you later have delete-r’s remorse and decide that you DO want to hear all of the stomping “The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)” and not just the 20 seconds of annoyance from the commercial that seemed to be on every time I glanced at a TV during yesterday’s football games, you will have to download it again.
