So, in the end, can pop music really save the world?

If I didn't believe that it could, I couldn't do this job.

Gimme a break. It isn't pop music's job to "save the world," whatever that means. It's pop music's job to entertain. There's nothing worse than a musician with a messiah complex, and we have way more than our share of that.

"we have way more than our share of that."

The one that really irritates me is Bono - he thinks he's just absolutely the greatest thing that ever hit the world.
