Thank you for posting this article. It was an interesting read. Personally, I like Bono's shades and I understand why he wears them. My blue eyes are also light sensitive.

Beach clip 5 (Crazy Tonight) has a 60's Abbey Road/Phil Spector style to it. The album is supposed to have a dreamy atmosphere.

I think Bono looks totally vulnerable without his glasses. There's something he doesn't want people to see. Wearing the glasses is part of his rockstar persona. It's telling that in certain songs during Vertigo he took off the shades. But I guess his eyes are much more sensitive to light than they were years ago. The worst thing are the lights that come out of the darkness, by night, not so much the sunlight on a bright day. I know that, I have very light blue eyes as well and struggle with bloodshot and red eyes most of the time, especially in the evening with artificial light. Sun on snow is the worst thing.

I think it's nice that Neil is defending his friend, but it's a rather lightweight, boring, and somewhat suspect topic, given that it's written on the verge of another massive U2 campaign. Who really cares about his sunglasses?
