Bono is a raging lefty elitist who thinks YOU should pay confiscatory taxes, but nobody better touch a dime of his money.
I find that reduces any enjoyment I might have had in a band.
See: ditzy chicks, Moby, Fiona Apple, and Sheryl Crow the typhoid spreader.
Fair enough, but who do you listen to? Who do you like? I’ll bet some of the artists you love are just as liberal as those you’ve mentioned.
He behaves like a snooty South-sider even though he was raised in (even then low class) Finglas, which today is a hellhole. One of my aunts lived in that suburb for a few years and the house was plagued with mice. Sounds like Mr. Hewson really does want to forget where he came from, never mind perpetuate the cause of the problems Finglas has had for decades.
Best to separate the artists’ music and politics, lots of good music was (is) made by political idiots - like the afore-mentioned Bono and Eddie Vedder.
Don’t forget Tom Petty - love the music, but the guy is so communist he carries around a bust of Joe Stalin when on tour!
