I went to one of his overpriced concerts in Croke Park and the prick stopped the already ****e concert halfway through and went on a smug little rant about Africa and wanted everyone to text 2euro to some bull**** cause. He rants on about "climate change" and wants climate justice but uses his private jet to fetch his favourite Stetson Hat. He wants the world to cancel 3rd world debt but yet wont pay his taxes.

Typically Irish that isn't it. Whether people like to believe he has used his fame to do alot of good. Actually Bono is still the maneen.

I hate to sound like a total "Kumbaya my Lord" lefty tosser but I could argue the amount of time he has put into saving lives around the world is pretty cool. Ok ok he doesn't pay tax and his music has become ****e over the year. But I'm fairly sure in the overall scheme of things he has done more for Ireland and music than myself, yourself and every other keyboard warrior in here.

And another mate of his..will never be cool either. And yet another of his clique of terminably uncool people. And one more... All mates of Bono..will never be cool..its just the way it is and he knows it..thats why he's opted to stop paying taxes and retreat into his mansion untill its time to play another rip-off gig. He realised far too late that cool people dont go on about africa!
