They all sell by the loads even in some circumstances way more than they ever did in the 70's yet how authentic are they any more in comparison to what they once were noted as being? Aerosmith and Ozzy used to be considered "hard-core" and now they are seen as silly posers or washed up and look how much they sell now compared to the seventies?

Thassa intersting thought.

I guess now that he's more than ever seen meeting with the likes of Tony Blair, George Bush, Kofi Annan and the like, that's all changed. Not to mention his positive input into the Northern Ireland peace process in 1998.

Yeah, I can see how people can think that.

Anyway, Bono and U2 have never been overtly "political" as such. Any activism theyve been involved in has been from a humanitarian perspective, and not from a party-political one. Seriously - get a clue.

that look you describe was 'cutting edge' around about the time of 'Blackboard Jungle. Its called self-deprecation.

U2 have been campaigning and doing benefits for such organisations since the early 1980's. Their most prominent activism with Greenpeace being in the early 1990's. Please try and keep up!

Funny, but I thought his most prominent piece of campaigning and publicity stunts of late was to do with Debt Relief in Africa. I guess not.
