Socialist anti-nuke jerk. Oh well, he's better than a lot, I just don't understand the mega-hype over their music. It's OK (playing here right now) but not awesome.

Can't stand his wailing voice either!

I recently saw this story but can't verify its accuracy:
Bono is at a U2 concert in Dublin when he asks the audience for some
quiet.
Then, in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands.
He says into the microphone, in a deep solemn voice...
"Just for a moment, think outside yourself... Outside this arena...
Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
A loud Irish voice from near the front pierces the moment...
"Well, ya stupid arse, stop yer friggin' clappin', then!"

And now, a moment from the Limousine Liberals Network:
U2 and its lead singer Bono have been pushing the U.S. and EU countries to fork over more money for Third World nations to relieve debt and fight AIDS.
But when it comes to paying their fair share of taxes to help those efforts, U2 wants a free ride.
That's the word from Ireland, where the group has been based since it was founded in the early 1980s.
The Irish Examiner reports that U2 and Bono are furious that Ireland is doing away with its law exempting artists and authors from taxation.
Why are they furious? It means MORE WESTERN AID to Africa. Right?

Calling a knighthood honorary is a redundant. Does the author claim there is a non honorary Knighthood, requiring Bono serve his liege lord and appear when summoned with warhorse, armor and retainers?

A spokesman said the 46-year-old singer was flattered by the honor and hoped it will help him open diplomatic doors in his campaign for more Western aid to Africa. I think he should sell a couple of his mansions and give his own aid to Africa.

Maybe they'll give him a bar of soap to go with it.
The man does not bathe regularly.
I know from first hand accounts related to his last visit to DC.
Also, he goes thru about 5 black shirts per day, changing them instead of washing his pits.
Yuck.
Oh, and his music sucks, too.

Knighthood?
For Bonzo?
