    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.

    Where does the big bedroom clash with aids?

    Bono is a rockstar, he can live like a rockstar while still trying to do good


  5. Money, financial aid...I would think that's a clash. But again, I respect Bono and his ideas. I can live with it, but I just give some opinions others probably have.
  6. Let's keep this to news please guys, not discussion; there's another topic for that
  7. i just herd that the new u2 cd might be a 2 cd set
  8. on my local radio station q1043 in new york city


  9. interesting. for some reason I won't be surprised at this. Even in the latest video, Edge says "how long is this album?" it is a stretch to begin even interpreting what that could mean literally. but maybe it is their longest? it kind of sounds like that, it sounds epic

    I wonder whether they've spent the most time on this album than any other.
