  1. This is a webcast of the first day of the Clinton Global Initiatives meetings in New York this week. At 36:18, Bill Clinton introduces Bono, and Bono comes onstage and can't find his seat. Bono's speech with another short Clinton intro starts at about 1 hr. 5 min. Clinton seems somewhat amused that Bono's there among the rest; Bono spouts out his typical "i'm just a rock star surrounded by great men," but he goes on to make some really great points, like this one:

    "It is extraordinary that you can find 700 billion dollars to save Wall Street and the entire G-8 can't find 25 million to save the lives of 25,000 children who die every day from preventable and treatable diseases. That is mad."

    It's only about ten minutes, and it's definitely worth a listen.

  7. You know, I'd never really thought about that. But now that you mention it, that is pretty incredible.

    So Bono plagiarizes Joseph Stiglitz now. Maybe the veins are reserved to songwritings.

    I am PROUD of being fan of a man capable of saying THAT in front of the world leaders. I really feel PROUD.
