does anyone else think bono is a stark raving hypocrite?

Excellent analogy at the end of your statement.  I find it interesting at those who support Bono and his efforts sound like they don't have two pennies to rub together.  (BTW - Bono looks like he could stand a bath)

he sounds like a very sick person

Bono is more Christian than almost any of us here. And oh yes, he is a Christian,  no matter what anyone tells you here, in belief and deed.\n\nIn an interview he said, "I’m holding out for Grace. I’m holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don’t have to depend on my own religiosity."\n\nIf that isn't an orthodox statement of Christian soteriology.... well I've never heard one.\n\nTrue, he may not go about going "Lord, Lord." But we already know what Jesus will say to the "Lord, Lord" types. (Matthew 7:22 if you don't.)

The thing is.. he's just got such a whiny bastard voice - and ug, pretension. I like my pretension and whine perfectly mixed. He's just a bit too much of both for me.\n\nI mean, I guess he's heart-felt enough and the hipsters sure are feeling it.

I think that he makes more mistakes then anyone should be alowed.\n\nI think that he makes owful choices.\n\nYes i think hes stupied!

I agree.  I'm not really a fan of his, but EVERYTIME I see him perform, you can't take your eyes off him.  It is artistic genius to incorporate what is does in his music, AND the visuals (on SNL) with the puppets.  Amazing!

You're right.  He seems to inflict terrible suffering on some of us, mainly those who are already suffering.  If you didn't know better you'd think he was messing us about really, telling us how he's nice, but then being quite nasty.

They are simply 'old hat' and have to get noticed somehow. Geldof hasn't produced a song in over 20 years, and in 1985 it was ex-Visage&Ultravox founder Midge Ure who penned most of Band Aids 'Do they know it's Christmas'. Bono is a sell out, anyone who bought U2s first 3 LPs in the early 80s will find it hard to recognise the pop pap they have produced for the masses over the last 20 years - perhaps they should have followed Bob into the not working zone.\nAs for Madge, well, she was always more pop prima donna, changing with the wind, and easily led.\nWhy is it you never hear Bono saying that he's going to give away 75% of his wealth, unlike an American billionaire who did just that earlier this year. Perhaps global warming would be less of a problem, and impending threat to Africa if Bono and Bob stopped flying their egos around the world by plane. Don't forget Sting, the first true pop pretender.\nSome of us know that people like George Harrison did a massive fundraising concert in aid of Bangladesh flooding in the early 70s, but didn't spend years going on and on ad nauseam about it.\nThe way Geldof talks, you'd think he invented charity!

i am thinking more of a delusional narcissist and a sociopath.\nI have no idea what goes on in that man's mind, but I am sure there is not a lot of depth or reflection going on. \n\nHow is it this mediocre under achiever/ con artist ever became so powerful other than as a cats paw of more powerful vested interests who manage him from behind the scenes. \n\nHe is barely competant to express his own thoughts, much less demonstrate any kind of effective leadership. \n\nInsane?  No.  Inane and dangerous?  Yes.

Hilarious!\nif she didn't take Lennon's name she probably wouldn't take Bono's either, especially since it would be so silly.\nHave a silly day!

I view him as my form of sitcom because I can't take anything he says seriously!  Some makes sense, a bit anyways, and is probable but when he goes on the more outlandish he gets. By the time he gets to the reptilian people I am holding my sides with tears running down my face from laughing so hard.  Honestly, I think he's in it just to make money.

Every day I pray that he will be struck be lightening and I will be spared the unnecessary torment of listening to his dreadful, whiney voice. Sometimes I construct elaborate mental plans in which he is eaten by a variety of angry zoo animals. But hey, that's just me }:)

He is a short, sunglassed, bitter little woman hating repetitive son of a bitch who makes Opie and Anthony look like comic geniuses.\n\nSo yea, I listen.
