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!"
