Excuse me, but do I know you? OH! Stephen! I thought your online persona had died of cancer or murder, or worse yet, vampire bunny rabbits.
I am an unashamed fan of pre-90’s U2, and I think Bono is trying to do the right thing by working with world leaders of all types, but does he have to dress like a rockstar buffoon all the time? I mean, he wears those sunglasses when he meets with the pope fer cryin’ out loud.
Re. Bono, I am offput by the way he seems to consider himself a messiah -- he is very interested in speaking on behalf of impoverished people, but seems less interested in hearing what they have to say for themselves, or empowering them to be heard.
However, I do not despise him nearly as much as a lot of people do. I say that snickering at him during the Strummer doc was like shooting ducks in a pond for those young "punks" mostly because he makes himself an easy target for those kinds of people by having such a grand sense of himself, and for meeting with George Bush. I don't think he (Bono) can possibly care too much, except he was trying to speak with authority about Joe Strummer.
And yes, he has to dress like a rockstar buffoon all the time.
Listen, I'm starting to feel pretty guilty about having you store that ADAT machine for me all this time. Maybe I could come get it Thursday evening? I'm'a call you.
