i understand Bono's reasons, but seeing him hanging out with Bill Gates for a photo-op, and that revolting Jesse Helms, Orrin Hatch, and the rest of those purile Pat Robertson/Jerry Falwell wannabes is disgusting.

Actually, the whole "we are the best band in the world" thing and the people's reaction to it sort of amused me. Personally I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek remark, but it seems that many people, fans and non-fans alike, tend to take whatever Bono says sooooo incredibly seriously. I almost think that he sometimes deliberately says stuff like that just to annoy people because he knows the reaction (and attention) it would get.
One thing that made me cringe (apart from Bono's hideous POPMart look) was his Zooropa acceptance speech. I just don't buy this idea that rock stars swearing on TV somehow makes them mega-cool "rebels".
I always thought that Bono's a bit of a dork, to be honest, but hey, I still love him and his lack of fear of being uncool,

I think Bono is cool. I think Orrin Hatch is cool. Why shouldn't they be cool together?

Some chick in my lit class called him that a couple weeks ago, and I wanted to throttle her!
I don't mind people saying "fuck." Heck, I say it on occasion...But people cheering when people say it is just moronic, imho...One of the parts that irks me in the Boston DVD is that when Bono is talking about how he felt "really fucked up" in Albany, the crowd went nuts! okay...so you think it's cool that he felt lousy? No....they thought it was cool that he said "fuck." Sheesh.

I don't have a problem with him "hanging" with Republicans (although I would definitely consider myself a Democrat!). Whatever he feels he needs to do to get the job done...But the point is that he CARES and that CAN'T be a bad thing.

Bono has done nothing uncool in the last year. Maybe longer ago than that, but not in the last year. I am stunned at the amount of people who condemn people for their political leanings, especially those who tilt to the left and claim to be 'open minded' yet close their minds to all views but their own and all those who believe them. It's like there is a set agenda of stuff you have to believe, or you refuse to accept the person. Thank goodness Bono isn't that way. He respects everyone, and in his own words, doesn't 'tar them all with the same brush.' Bono is the COOLEST.

Being "uncool" is, in my opinion, the coolest thing anyone can aspire to be.
Be uncool, yes be awkward. That lyric has really caught a lot of people's attention, for good reason. Why do we have to go through life worrying about what's cool? What's wrong with being uncool and awkward. Most of us really are that way anyway, why try to be something else.
Why do some people hold Bono up to a standard of cool?

Exactly! This is one of the MANY reasons that Bono (and the rest of the band, for that matter!) inspires me so much. "Be uncool, yes, be awkward" is just, imho, another way of saying, "be yourself!" Who gives a rat's arse what anyone else thinks? If youre happy with yourself, screw them!

It's a family joke for us, we do it sometimes too.
And the phrase "Be uncool, yes be awkward" comes to mind too.
And who or what determines what's cool or uncool?
I admire those who are true to themselves and follow their hearts, in despite of other's opinions.

Nope, that skinned head was the stupidest, biggest most uncool mistake he ever made. I would've posted it as the most uncool thing he had ever done, but I couldn't because it wasn't in the last year. (Thank GOD!) The longer hair is cool, and it's no 'mullet.' He looked like a rock star during Elevation, not some geek. Even if it were a mullet it looks a damn site better than that creepy sweaty armpit stubble looking shaved head he had during POP *cringe*
I see no mullet. I see a man with short hair. Too short for me. But cute.
Why the f*ck does everything have to come back to Bono's hair anyway??

Speaking of politics, when is he going to Africa with Sec. O'Neill? It was supposed to be March, but March is over. Now I hear this month but when?
Yes, I care about his cause and have given it my support!
Yes, I want the photo op pics to post on PLEBA.
At least I am totally honest.

I like his hair now, but Popmart was good too. I remember at first I really didn't like POPMART Bono, but after seeing them in concert, it was FINE with me.
Mullets are evil. Death to mullets! heehee

I like mullets! Mullet bashing is just as bad as Pop bashing. I really cannot understand the anti-mulletness, I think it's just become a fad to bash them, and that's sad.

Uh uh. Nope. I have NEVER been one of those people to do something just because everybody else does. I bash mullets because they LOOK STUPID!!!
ick...I remember this boy that was in my class in 2nd and third grade. He had short hair on top and then this really long tail down his back. eew! eew!

Yes, I stated my opinion as fact, but so did you. No one really should.
I do agree that the rattail(what you described the kid in your class as having) was bad fad.

Again, opinion stated as fact. I disagree, but we all like what we like. Can't we all just leave it at that before this gets any lamer? Nothing to see here, let's move along. We need to get a life or something!
