I reckon U2 got the better end of the deal...

I am willing to do an artist-to-artist swap with any klezmer band for the following...

IMO, I think Bono just "boned" Sugimoto

. I like it though that there was no text or rubbish covering his photograph on the cover. But like jb7 said, I do think U2 got the sweeter end of the deal. But Sugimoto isn't all about the money, he's more of a philanthropist than that. If he has Bono's "ok" to use the song wherever he wishes, that's a pretty strong deal too.
