Johnson, the gravel-voiced British singer of Australia’s biggest rock band, has joined a growing group of critics of Geldof and the U2 singer over their very public charity work, saying they should stop lecturing audiences about charity work and instead do their good deeds in private.

Bravo and Amen!

"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Go Brian! Hells Bells!

I think Brian Johnson just shook Bono and Geldof all night long...and the AC/DC frontman is right....and finally someone is saying what many want to say

Wonder when the ultra-liberal rock illuminati start attacking Johnson for his comments....and try to ban AC/DC sales and concerts....

Someone please forward this article to former Senator and Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who rushed to “help” in Haiti (with much media fanfare and attention) just to get some positive publicity after he finally confessed to fathering a love-child while cheating on his “dying, cancer-striken” wife.

It is so much better to do little in private than to do much in the spotlight.

Bono’s free to give all his money away if he wants but I'm frankly tired of him popping up and begging for money every time something happens in the world.

[RC one]

It sounds like he's saying, “quit masking your lack of musical talent with a facade of charity work”.

[God luvs America]

he should have included bruce springsteen.....

I remember the time Live 8 was about to be performed and diane sawyer interviewed bono and mentioned how the price of a single CD could save one child in Africa....I told my wife, “enough” and turned off the TV....she asked why I was so angry and told her EXACTLY what Johnson said- I said why doesn’t U2 take the money from the 1 million CD’s they last sold and save 1 million children???

"When I was a working man I didn’t want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa.”

Attaboy, Brian!

Rock and roll ain’t noise pollution.

I hope Bono makes a diplomatic trip to China and other countries we are in debt to and asks them to forgive our debt to them.

“Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” The celebs have their reward...the adulation of men.

Giving voice to what so many feel.

What is Bono worth? $300,000,000 to $500,000,000? If he donated $200,000,000 and got many of his fellow rockers and Hollywood liberals to “pony up” some real money, they could raise BILLIONS! In the “real world” our new President, governing like the Chicago community organizer he is, continues to crush the lives and hopes of “every day” men and women all over this country.

Obama will undoutedly raise billions for re-election. He said he would rather be a one term President that made a difference. Here’s his chance. He should announce from this day forward every dime raised for his re-election will be used for charitable purposes.

Probably and urban legend, but still funny:

Bono is at a U2 concert in Glasgow when he asks the audience for some quiet. Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands.

He says into the microphone... "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A voice from near the front pierces the silence...

"Well, stop f@#!*!# clapping then."
