Fair enough. Your allowed your opinion. And we don't all have to agree. Some like that Bono and U2 in general have socio-politcal views and others say 'hush and play songs'. And some that like that they are 'activists' also think, at times, 'enough' already.
Yet the words that those that haven't heard him speak on the subject used word like "riveting and powerful" to describe the speech. The 5 standing ovations seems to back that up.
Sure we've heard Bono speak on the subject many times. But I think it is good to remember, not everyone has. And the message is important.
Sure, the message is important. But the problem is the hypocracy which is layed upon him. I mean, he speaks about Africa and aids while he's planning the largest bedroom of Ireland. I can live with that, but some don't.
