I spoke to an Irish person today from where Bono is from. He loves the music but says Bono is not a nice person.
Where I'm from is not my home, and neither's where i'm bound.

...remember the 80's days with mix of music and politics with  The Alarm, Big Country, early U2...
Happy days!  :)

I can see why people feel that Bono has developped some sort of God-complex - but I really like their older music, some of the newer stuff, too - and I won't have that spoilt by anyone.

It is interesting, though - you have to give it to them that they have successfully managed to keep going and to keep re-inventing themselves to become something unexpectedly massive. And it IS nice that they do lots of stuff for charity.
