    I wonder how many of us giving negative comments on Bono's humanitarian work have ever done something to help just one person. I think if I had a chance to go to school, survive HIV or malaria or benefit in any way from Bono's work I would never care about his motive. It's so easy to criticize and normally those who do the least talk the most. If you have a better idea for solving the enormous problems in the world well don';t just stand there talking. Go out there and do it.

    I think that U2 is the best band of all time. Bono is one of the driving forces of the band. I appreciate him using his celebrity to try to make the world a better place! U2 combines beautiful, haunting, poetic lyrics with thoughtful ballads as well as just plain ROCK AND ROLL!

I help in small ways when i have extra outside of my bills, and i have things i need. yes. But most times i have nothing but myself, my humor, my encouragement to give to people who mean a lot to me that have given me the same things in return.

Wonderful human beings so humble, kind, n generous there r many rich people that r selfish only think about themselves so sad. At the end we r all here temporary none of the material things u will take with u. So sadly knowing u can help out so many people that r starving n dying because they dont have the resourses n help to live. I wish i could have money i would help too. 4 sure. So much we could do if people have a kinser heart

    @FuriousPhil88 I'm not 100% sure but I have heard it said often that he has the photo-sensitivity to lights. It's painful and all the singing on stage is under the glare of lots of lighting. The same with interviews. So if it is prescribed, it is understandable. He's always in the 'spotlight' to begin with and I'm glad he uses his celebrity status to draw attention to the bad things some live with. People get tired of him preaching but his heart is in the right place.

    Luvs, I think people must have misunderstood your comment. You were saying something positive, but the double negative might have gotten in the way. "She's SO not superficial" meaning she is NOT superficial & has accomplished more than just "marrying a rockstar." Good comment. Thumbs up from me.

    So now it's ten years later! Problem solved? For the same cost of one of the seats on the U2 jet an African village could be fed for a year! Katie Couric is the cute one!

    The Irish have never promoted Bono but then they never promoted Irish dance it’s the rest of the world that did ; the children of the Irish who left Ireland 60 years ago ! it their love of the Ireland they experienced through their parents. I was doing Irish dancing and learning Irish growing up in London and would go to Ireland for the summer and no one was doing there. Plastic paddy is the name the Irish born give to us ..The London Irish like me and American Irish promoted Otis dancing music and Bona!!

    flealoaf ??? how can u diss the irish they rule. They make such an impact for a small country. Jealous? I think i know where your from... Bono and Ali are great, contributing members of society and I think U2 are amazing ambassadors for Ireland. Ali is beautiful. Irish women are so naturally pretty.

    He has never said capitalism will save the world. If he was a capitalist, he would want companies to make as much money as they can by using poor people to over-work them and under-pay them.
