About: A little about me, I was bitten with the U2 obsession in 1991 with the release of Achtung Baby. Although I’ve known about U2 since the mid 80’s it wasn’t until the AB album that I was hooked. AB was the very first (and only) album that I had ever owned that I played straight through without hating a single song. I truly love every song on that album. Even today that album seems so fresh.
My online activities, I'm curator of several U2 related sites: U2exit.com, U2torrents.com, U2fansites.com, and U2radio.com. I've maintained a U2 fan site in some form since the late 1990's.See Authors Posts (2587) on May 13, 2008 in Charities/Causes, News & Rumors | 2 comments
Tim Adams speaks to Bono about the origins of the Make Poverty History campaign and persuading a reluctant Bush administration to provide over $50 billion in aid to Africa.

as far as I know, two steps forward and one step back is better than zero steps forward…Rock on Bono!
Thanks to Bono, as an awesome lyricist once wrote, we are “one step closer”~
I attended a meeting recently with some of the top Real Estate brokers in the world, including Warren Buffet,and one of the brokers was talking about “African debt cancellation” and the importance of it. Another broker then said, “Mike, that is great to hear that your firm is aiding in support of this, you’re a rock star!”
And this was not referring to Bono or a “real” rock star, but more of an adjective or personality type-
We use that term in todays world when someone does something cool or in many cases does something helpful.
If my admin assistant does one of her typical “above and beyond” effort, I tell her, “thanks, you’re a rock star!”
Bono is a true rock star, and he is a Rock Star-
As far as the interview piece, very well done!
Jimi Hendrix dove and “they just can’t help but be cool” were the two highlights for me-
@Jono: Very well stated!! Thanks for the post.
