This is funny, because Bono seems the most scared of politics of any musician. He may meet with Bill Clinton or Jesse Helms, but he seems to be nonpartisan. He may raise money for poor Africans, but he never says anything controversial.

He's Irish, but all his songs seemingly about the problems in Ireland are so vague as to be meaningless.

Q: What's the difference between God and Bono?

A: God doesn't walk around thinking he's Bono.

They were a good original band then they went ultra gay and decided to become a Broadway act starting with the Joshua Tree. Before that, nothing could beat them, playing “New Years day” at Red Rocks and in a rain storm, just incredibly intense band at that time.

Here it is........

Imagine that - a rock and roll musician hectoring us about progressive political causes.

Its all so absurdly stereo-typical.

Wasn’t it only recently that Bono figured out that communism doesn’t work?

high-profile political activist, you mean the kind which moved his U2 Limited company out of Ireland to save taxes which could of helped those less fortunate and then browbeat politicians into championIng your causes, so that you could take credit for the action which will help you sell more records. That kind of political activist?

100% right. Even in Sunday Bloody Sunday, he doesn't take a position, just wants it to end.

Fun Fact: I actually know FIVE of the most infamous Rock and Roll groupies in real life. One night I was in facebook caht with all 5 and asked them “Who was the best rock star and the worst....”

They told me who the BEST rockstar in the sack was. It was hands down unanimous. If your curious , hit me up, Ill tell you.

The WORST was handsdown BONO. They swore he actually shipped full size mirrors he surrounds the bed with to look at himself. Hes egotistical, vain and its to the point no groupies sleep with him and even escorts refuse to.
Groupies will even disuade girls they pull from the audience to not do it. Hes an all around dick and not in a good way.

Okay Ill tell you who the hands down BEST rock star in the sack was....Huey Lewis. The ladies LOVED him, he was funny and hes appearantley well hung and knows how to use it.

There also exists a video of Bono in Africa I think. Hes “helping the children” and the newscrew after they are done interviewing his narcissitic ass , the villagers all let loose what an asshole he is. I wish I could find that one again.

They care so much about Ireland that they avoid Irish taxes by incorporating in The Netherlands.

Edge Says Bono Was Right to Start Playing Politics
I wonder what Ye would say? Sting probably wants to chime in, as do Bjork and Flea. Ke$ha would just take it to the bank, while Divine would take it as far as possible. Meanwhile, the Artist Formerly Known As Prince is just laughing from the grave.
