does no one see how great he is? he does care about what he does, if it wasn't for him alot of those people in africa wouldn't have gotten the medicines they needed! if he hadn't been the voice for those who have none. he is a great man!!! i have been a fan of him since i was 4yrs. old. i believe in him, what he's doing. and if these other people don't get what he is about than i'm afraid it's lost on them!

I love Bono's music and the things he tries to do for the world. I'm wearing my white bracelet right now and can't remember having taken it off since I saw them in concert a year ago.\n\nIt's not that Bono is neccessarily trying to create huge publicity about his causes its that in order to create major change like he wants, that's a result. You don't get to meet with Presidents and Prime Ministers and then expect it not to be on the news. Bono knows that in order to create this change, it he has to start at the top. The money George W. Bush can put towards poverty is a lot more than anything you or I can give.\n\nIn conclusion, when you have as much ambition as Bono does, it's not going to be possible to keep your efforts a secret.

08/29/2005 :  11:18:43   \nWell guys we have some good news on Akili. The rehab center where he is at in Austin is continuously looking after him and making sure they do everything they can to help him recover. He is now coughing on his own and starting to hold his head up. The latest tests run on him have showed that both sides of his brain are showing brain waves compared to the hospital saying that half of his brain was gone. This is a huge plus for Akili. This is the latest on Mr.Gray and I will continue to keep you updated on his condition.

I'm listening to his music right now...These people would do anything for attention...They think they are larger than life...It's just another publicity stunt!!!

He's a great musician. Is there a "thumbs down" bot, that is going, " No, no. no?" He has done quite a bit for the music community at hand, including farm aid. \n\nAnyway, here are some of my personal faves from him.\n\nR.O.C.K in the USA- tell me you don't want to sing to it. I think it's great. ( Think Renaissance Man film in the scene where they're jammin to it. )\nPaper in fire\nI need a lover\nDeep blue heart- totally under-rated!

It is true that 51% of this country is brain dead, bought his bullshi t lock stock and barrel, there are still in the neighborhood of 27% that have not recovered from it as they still support him. I can't immagine anybody voting for him. But bottom line is anybody still supporting him is BRAIN DEAD

Some things I agree on, others I disagree. Other than that, I don't really care. People in power can try to please everyone, but that rarely works. Plus, I don't think he's that bad. Blame the media for all the negative news since its usually "the juicy stuff is the bad news".

Just wanted to add another note.......\n\nHave you heard his speech where he talks of getting stabbed by the woman at the book signing? The blade came so very very close to his aorta that the media reported that if he had sneezed, he would have died. \n\nSo in his speech he spoke of all of the many things he would have missed out on had he sneezed. It was such a positive speech as he noted all of the changes in the world he was already witnessing. He ends the speech by saying just how glad he was that he had not sneezed. \n\nHow unfortunate it is that he was prevented from seeing where we are so very many years later. Would he be proud of us? Or would he still hope for more from the world?

I think it is sad that so much air time is given to something so silly.  I really don't care if Limbauh needs Viagra to get that "Rush" and doubt it would be as big of an issue if he were not a public personality. The narcotics which were/are (?) his issue are not the same as Viagra.  His dealings with one may cause the need for the other...

I find some of these answers show qite a degree of ignorance,  however we are all entitled to our opinion of anyone else. I would say that it is easy to agree with the sentiments given here but only superficially, His films reflect the human condition from the point of view of everyman, not from some unbeatable hero, they show the hopes fears selfdilusions and insecurities that define the human condition. I find him to be in general a very candind person. some here call him a pedophile but to my knowledge he had a relationship with Mia's adopted daughter he does not go around targeting children willy nilly in order to get pervy sex, He subsequently seperated from Mia and he and the girl in question then lived together, you could say he strayed well off the path but to brand him pedo is a bit over the top, and also what is perverted? look into your own lives and examine your own darkest thoughts there is only a step from thinking and doing a slight change in circumstances could give any of us the chance to live out a dark fantasy 'when you have walked one mile in my brothers moccasins then tell me your opinion of him' (red indian proverb)

I am with you all the way!  I think he is a remarkable person, basically good.\nNo one is perfect and many Godly men have sinned as wrongly. Those are for God to judge and forgive.\n\nI will always go see anything he has involvement with, whether it be acting, writing, or directing. Not Braveheart, I just knew I couldn't take the intensity and emotion.

I care very deeply about this horrible situation--and follow it very closely.  Have you been following Nicholas Kristof's articles about the Genocide in the New York Times?  He writes about it regularly and has been trying to get the US government and the "bully pulpit" people like Bill O'Reilly to draw attention to Darfur.  He has even set up a collection to pay for Bill O'Reilly's trip to Darfur to raise the public's attention.  So far, O'Reilly has refused--saying he has "other commitments" (what commitments could be more important?)  If you get a chance look at www.nytimes.com and see if you can access the articles/video on Darfur.

He's so funny. =) I think it's very admirable that he perseveres through any problems he has with giving public speeches. If I made a lot of mistakes and was constantly ridiculed by the public I'd probably give up, but he's the first one to laugh at his own mistakes. So we laugh not at him, but with him.

It is great despite some blacks calling him an Oreo and Democrats denigrating him on a racist basis. But many blacks are beginning to support him, understanding that we need strong leadership when we are in a world war with Islamic radicals who want to kill every non-Muslim American or rule over us.\n\nHow many blacks in 8 years of the Clinton administration top positions? One, Ron Brown. Democrats preach diversity but all they want is minority group dependency - not actually share in true leadership.

Well yeah I think he is the man. Yes he is just doing a job but we don't know if to him it's more than a job. From interviews I have seen of him it's more than a job to him. Yes the people at peverted justice should be applauded as well. What they do is great. But with out Chris and Dateline they would not have the publicity that they have. So I say Chris and Dateline are the Shit!

Delving????  Dude, he's poured Billions into supporting various charities and non-profits....We only hear about 5% of what he donates money to.  He's been into giving for years now.\n\nLove it when a self-made man shares the wealth

Yes. And me being an African person he opened the door and showed that anything is possible regardless of your skin color. If it wasn't for him there would be no Venus or Serena today. His foundation is doing a lot for AIDS research and opening up people eyes to what's going on with it. That in itself means a lot, not just to black people but to people as a whole.
