Aside from the "cool" factor I heard somewhere that bono had some problems with his eyes before and was required to wear shades. Anyone know the story behind this?
 
He's been quoted as saying his eyes would turn bloodshot after drinking wine, due to an allergy, so he'd cover them up with glasses. That's about it.
 
As Bun would say, "Because can."

:wink:









(and if you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to head over to atu2 and read the Achtoon Baby cartoons.)

Okay, I'll give the Bun thing a rest. :wink: Bun is so fun. But I agree - who really does care? They're sunglasses, for goodness' sake. We all wear them.
 
BUN LIKE SHADES';;;;;; MAKE BONO LOOK YOUNG LIKE LARRY EXCEPT NO WAX CHEST';;;;;
 
This is a really old thread, but...

Has anyone checked to see if he wears a prescription? Maybe he's near sighted and needs slight correction but not enough for contacts? I bet someone knows out there?
 
He started wearing them in the nineties as a parody of the stereotypical rock star, and he forgot the parody part, I guess.

That's the funny part. The vain part is his eyebags.
