    Well, I know he's the Live8 man and BtR singer, I was just surprised seeing him here in every possible Kraut talk show dealing with the G8 summit. The lowest point was how he was made "chief editor" for BILD (our SUN) for one day to produce all kinds of stupid stories about Africa

            Bono's effectively the head of state of Ireland. Seriously, how many people outside of Ireland even know who the taoiseach is?

                    At least Bono is famous.

                    That's what I always say, too. He's nothing but an attention whore.

                    It's really incredible how much press the two get by people Pekka would label hippies, or "Gutmenschen" in German polemic discourse.

                    I didn't like Live8 in the first place and am more convinced ever since that it is everything but a real protest with a concept. Those who oppose global politics should join/support organizations like Attac or Greenpeace if they want but not attend a fancy concert, feel righteous and go home.

                        Fair enough. They were a punk-era band cashing in on the scene, and were lousy.

                              Rod Liddle in The Times is funny ...


                              Bono, the people's moaner

                              The G8 might be better rechristened the G9, since an inevitable presence at these convocations is the People’s Republic of Bono. Perhaps he should have a seat on the United Nations security council, too.

                              The incalculably pompous Irish singer in the perpetual wraparound shades was in Heiligendamm “holding private meetings with G8 leaders”. Why was he? What convinced them of the necessity to turn up and listen to his interminable, faux-humble, faux-naive “Oi’m only a rock star, but . . .” schtick?

                              Why didn’t they tell him to get stuffed, or punch him? Or just do what the rest of us do and ignore him entirely?

                              His eminence carped at the fact that the world’s richest nations are giving only £30 billion to fight disease in, primarily, Africa. The countries holding out were, he alleged, Italy and Canada: well, good for them.

                              There is no respite from this man’s megalomania, induced by the mysteriously impressive record sales from his lumpen rock band. One day soon he will announce that he is developing nuclear weapons. Perhaps then he will have at last found what he was looking for.

                                Yes, and Terrance & Philip should be in charge of Canada.
