Fun Fact: Do you know who told me that the government fell in November 2005? Bono did. I was waiting in the GA line all day, so I was out of the loop as to what was happening in Ottawa. Then, during One, Bono mentioned that the government fell and we would be going to the polls. I was shocked, but not surprised. While my mind was processing that information, Bono said that we had to make sure that whomever is elected promise to help Africa's debt situation. That snapped me back to reality and I thought, "Oh, Bono, please just sing the song. "
U2 concerts can be that way. Bono mentioned during the ZOO TV tour that people looked deflated when they showed video of Bosnia in the middle of the show. U2 has always been political so people shouldn't be surprised. When you go to a U2 concert you get both. I can't imagine a non-political U2 show.
Bono was also pissed off at Paul Martin for looking at taxpayers interests over Bono's. I remember Layton castigating Martin over Bono's comments. I'm thinking "ok Bono has his opinion but really he is a foreigner and there are social demands here in our own country. It's okay to disagree with Bono sometimes Layton."
