Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 I saw Bono from the music group U2 on O'Reilly tonight. I must say, I tend to find celebrity spokes people to not be too bright. However, I thought Bono did a very good and convincing job in his presentation. I can respect him. Unlike most celebrities, Bono has realized that if the goal is to get something done then its best not to antagonize the other side. Rather he works in a bi-partisan manner to get his goals passed. And because of this he probably has done more for AIDs in Africa than the leftist screechers like Barbara Streisand and her ilk. What matters are the results not the rhetoric. If the rhetoric gets in the way of the results (such as antagonizing the other side) then what is the purpose? Anyways, here are his sites for his programs: www.data.org www.theonecampaign.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theist 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 I saw it too. He was about the only reasonable voice that speaks from that crowd. I don't know much about the issue but as to his presentation he was mature&thoughtful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kulapavana 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 Bono is Irish and that explains a lot. he has experienced the pain of the "other side". just listen to his "Sunday, Bloody Sunday". most of the "celebrities" are just a bunch of spoiled, selfish brats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 5, 2004 U2 is the best, right up there with the Police. I saw bono jam with chrissie hynde (pretenders, back on the chain gang), and the edge, and all chanted haribol, very clearly. hear surrender, hear the whole album of joshua tree and bullets and blood. And while were at it, the clash (sandinistha album) aint too sleazy either, nor is midnight oil (diesel and dust). mahaksadasa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 5, 2004 Like a desert needs rain Like a town needs a name I need your love Like a drifter needs a room Hawkmoon I need your love Like a rhythm unbroken Like drums in the night Like sweet soul music Like sunlight I need your love Like coming home And you don't know where you've been Like black coffee Like nicotine I need your love When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like a Phoenix rising Needs a holy tree Like the sweet revenge Of a bitter enemy I need your love Like the heat needs the sun Like honey on her tongue Like the muzzle of a gun Like oxygen I need your love When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like thunder needs rain Like the preacher needs pain Like tongues of flame Like a blind man's cane Like a needle in a vein Like someone to blame Like a thought unchained Like a runaway train I need your love Like a fighter's rage His dreams in a cage Like faith needs a doubt Like a freeway out I need your love Like powder needs a spark Like lies need the dark I need your love Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
