The mid 90's pictures of Bono are kind of weird. He had almost blonde hair and that freaky ass beatnick rock poet goatee going on.
There was an interview with Bono a while ago where he talks about the mid 90's and getting to know Michael Hutchence real well. He said "they were really getting into music", and stuff like that. So I attribute Bono's hippie look to that.
