1. Is it me or Bono looks sad?
  2. He looks normal
  3. Today (2018-08-28) the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung publishes a little essay by Bono:




    Nice guys don't play Rock 'N Roll
  4. EU FLAG DAY...
  5. I think Bono lost touch a bit with reality, too much helicopter rides maybe. There's no European I know that is proud to be a European and will feel anything seeing the EU flag. But maybe thats me

    I'm with you.

    Yeah waving the European flag will likely achieve more neutral reactions than anything else with some people who don’t look favourably at the EU, perhaps more the political side, being put off by it.

    Bono speaks of a man that wasn’t touched by the hard economic recession in Ireland in the last 10 years. The EU bailed out their own European banks and wanted to ensure that they were protected before anything else. We’ve been lumped with a national debt that will take generations to get under control. Some of it our own doing but big EU corporations were also implicit. So while being part of the EU obviously benefits smaller countries, they’ve no alligence to them when things go wrong. It wasn’t we were all in it together, just sort you’re own mess out.

    If this flag display will be the big change for the tour, then I won’t be tuning in too often.
