This week, U2 is celebrating 40 years of being a Rock N Roll band. Not just any band, but one of deep political, religious, and moral conviction. Lead singer Bono has never been one to shy away from using his celebrity to shine a light on some issue of global importance. At the IHeartRadio concert in Vegas earlier this week, they’ve done it again. Please watch the video for one minute and eleven seconds of perfect political art. “What do you have to lose? EVERYTHING”
Seriously...watch it!
We are being watched, ladies and gentleman. By everyone around the world.
Bono was also interviewed by Charlie Rose recently. There, he said, “America is like the best idea the world ever came up with. But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America...” You can watch another minute and fifty seconds here:
There is a reason I have been following this band since 1983. Wow, that’s 33 years of awesome music. 46 concerts attended...and counting.
