Regarding the first point actually, he acted like an even bigger knob when he was The Fly during the Zoo TV tour. Maybe he was trying to bring that back a little in the video by acting all hard and sliding a chair across the room? Who cares? Is there any need to be saying "Oh Bono, please don't slide a chair across the room then proceed to bend over in the corner whilst playing guitar, the public will think you're a fool."? Still, would've been totally epic if he stood there like a lamp post.
Finally someone with some sense.
The guy is a PERFORMER people. He's a SHOWMAN. This is what he's done since the beginning. Deal with it. No one likes to hear people complaining.
