The guy has talent..LOL..
I liked Bono when I was in HS and early college but then I grew up.
Amazing how seeing 40% of you pay confiscated from each check can turn even the most pathos intoxicated liberal into a conservative.
Bono, beating the drum for the Dems, forever trying to improve the lot of all through the toil of others…

Ad hominem attacks based on absurd selectivity such as this are normally the forte of liberals. It like using an Ellsworth Toohey passage in The Fountainhead to prove that Ayn Rand is a socialist. Or it's like judging the entire Reagan presidency on the off-mike joke "We start bombing Russia in one hour."
Fact is, whether you care to admit it or not, Bono is a very gifted songwriter who has written some amazing songs over the years. His politics may not agree with you (or me, for that matter), but attack him on the stupid statements he makes. Grossly distorting his songwriting talent by quoting some throwaway lines meant only to be filler in an otherwise great song makes you appear petty to those who know better.
If you should ask then maybe they
Would tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flak
Colours crash - collide in bloodshot eyes
Timm22 - I would agree with you were it not for the fact that Bono wants to force me and other Americans to give our hard-earned money to corrupt third world countries.
Bono can't force you or any other Americans to give our money to anybody! He's not an elected official in this country, he's not even an American!
