You can all take the previous era Bonos, I gladly take the current one

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Embrace each era of Bono and U2. Each has something to offer.

Yeah,each Era has your enchantment

Definately some great pics - this one's my fave, though. Mostly because I've either never seen it or it's been so long ago I forgot about it & because it's simply beautiful.

Seriously, this is the sort of thing I'd expect to hear when someone's talking about Eastern philosophies, not physical appearances Bono has had over the years. I mean, what the hell?

 

[last unicorn]

I agree with that statement. I embrace every era of U2 (even if not all of them are appealing to me the same way).

Wow! That is a great photo of Bono. I have never seen it before. I love the wide eyed innocence of his expression.

I Elevation Tour era hair.

Me too, especially on the ATYCLB album. His hair is longish, but nicely layered. Making it look much thicker. I also think that darkest brown/black hair is attractive on Bono. I know it isn't his natural colour, but with blue eyes and pale skin, it is very "Irish."

Agreed! It's funny how so many people in the United States think that the Irish all have red hair and green eyes. My ancestors came from County Cork, Ireland and all of them, me included, had dark ash brown to black hair, pale ivory skin and blue/green eyes. Some Americans, will even call me "Black Irish." Based on the legend, not fact, of a Spanish ship sinking off the coast of Western Ireland. Where as actually, when the Celts came to Ireland. There was already a race of people, call the Picts. Who already in habited the Emerald Isle and Scotland. These folks, to my knowledge had black hair. Thus, giving many Scottish and Irish too, those raven locks.

Ireland was originally inhabited by Iberian tribesmen, and I believe the same goes for the rest of the British Isles. Even today, lighter hair colours are a minority to the darker ones in the area. There isn't really need for any myths or legends about Spanish ships sinking there (especially since a lot of Spanish have lighter hair colours themselves), it's more that the stereotype of everyone in Ireland being red-haired and green-eyed is so prevalent in the common mind, when it was never particularly true to begin with.

Also, the Picts were only from North Scotland, not Ireland. However, there were still pre-Celtic people that inhabited Ireland, like the so called "bell-beaker" culture.
