Jeez, great words guys. I'm normally not very keen on thinks like this, but indeed, I couldn't imagine a day without the great man (although that counts for every member of U2, but B. in particular) a great mind, a man with such a huge heart (and ego). The man we love but sometimes criticize because of that love. The man with the most extraordinay lyrics, thoughts, songs...the man with the standard I think we can never live up with, but it's someone to admire, to defend when people accuse him of hypocrisy and ego-pumping... The man who can always raise a smile on my face, who can give me goosebumps and who can turn me to myself and who can help me out of creepy situations. I absolutely have the utmost respect for Bono, he's my hero.
I really hope he recovers well and take all the time he needs for that. Take care
