I loved U2 when i was at Manhattan College as a native NYer (& MC is in a mostly Irish area). So like everyone at school, we went to see them 3x & slept out all night for tickets. After the gig, we waited all night & some met Bono & some of us met The Edge at different concerts. *The Edge just stopped jumped out of his car (Groupie drinking a Beer in the back of the limo) & signed autographs & left quick. *Bono on the other hand, at 2am, had the giant garage door open up at the end of the slanted platform where the equipment goes down, suddenly walked up out of nowhere & appeared in the middle of the huge garage entrance way, & slowly walked up the incline to the top, like the G*d we thought (& he was convinced) he was. Very dramatic. So when i told my very ethnic Irish uncles i went, they were horrified & all my Uncle Butch could say was: "And what the hell does Bono know about Billie Holiday, anyway?" I didn't have an answer then...but I get it now.

@bertplank9892 3 ай бұрын

The Marrano Bono was a conscious hypocrite....while telling his audiences to donate money to various politically correct causes....he was doing the maximum to evade taxes.....shifting money to offshore banking.He shifted money to The Netherlands....rather than pay Irish taxes...which could have been used to build housing for IRISH people.Instead Irish are forced to subsidize housing for alien people....illegal immigrants. Bob Geldof is said to be worth €70,000,000....at the very least....he had one hit record....so where do you suppose he got the money?....it is OBVIOUS...from the millions of money donated to "save africa" scam....why doesnt the Guardian investigate?....BECAUSE THE MEDIA IS PART OF THE CRIMINALITY.The media no longer performs its role in a democracy....for which the executive level staff is going to pay dearly for keeping the public in ignorance....when the SHTF.

Yeah, a beautiful soul who badmouths other musicians and calls them talentless. It's a shame, because Bono has praised the Beatles countless times, and I don't think I've ever heard a member of U2 talking negatively about other artists. I love Harrison's work with the Beatles, Bono gets on my nerves with his "posturing" and preachiness, and U2's last 3 or 4 albums have been mediocre. But U2 have more than made their mark artistically, releasing several excellent albums in their 46 year long career.
