Pretty cool gesture by Bono. Makes me even more happy they are coming to New Orleans. U2 gets bashed for their left leaning, but it's nice to see party lines disappear when it comes to decency.

The bar is set pretty low. I don't really like to praise celebrities for simply speaking out...its extremely easy for Bono to say things and have people listen.


With that being said, I'll take it and its a gesture of decency on his behalf.

Chris Cornell and Scott Weilland both pass and Bono is still kicking. I guess it's true that if you want to achieve immortality you should strive for mediocrity.

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With [Bono/LucasP] it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.

He's a lefty but he has a brain. He means well, and it shows.

Ahhh, a Major Major reference. Nice!

I think Bob Newhart played Major Major in the movie. Good stuff. I need to re-read the book. Yossarian made me laugh out loud.

Just because someone disagrees about an issue, doesn't mean they want them dead.

This is how most of the world operates, contrary to the beliefs of some vocal idiots here.

Good quote.

Did you memorize that to rationalize your own mediocrity?

Big U2 fan. I hear Bono isn't nearly as overt politically this tour. He is promoting a more centric position when he does speak out.

With that said, I won't be attending any of his shows this tour. He's burned too many bridges for me to spend money going to a U2 concert.

Wait for his next benefit concert. He does a lot of those and the money will be going to a good cause.
