Wow is simply all I can say. I started reading it at 1 am and was up till 5 am and read it in one go. It was unputdownable. There is just so much insight into this wonderful human being.
His faith is explained clearly as he feels it to be: "My relationship with God is that I pray and I sort of get this instictive feeling, a voice telling me whats right and wrong..." etc.
The author asked about his fidelity(He's amazed that Bono has been faithful to Ali for 20-something years and asks him how, being a rockstar, when there's "just so much tempatation: (his words!) Bono replies, "Sure we have groupies, but to me that is a turn off. Granting a sexual favor to someone in exchange for proximity to a rockstar is bullying, it's not fair to the woman, its not an equal relationship."
It's a wonderful read about a truly great individual. The only part I disliked was, the author asked Bono how he envisioned his own funeral. And he also tells Bono, "You have more years behind you than in front of you now." That was stupid in my opinion but Bono responds by saying something to the effect of "Yeah, I can't wait to see what is out there! My life is getting better year by year. I'm thinking of being around for a long, long time to come yet!"
His charity work, his drive, he's just so polite and genuine all the time. He says "I am always me, always real. I've never pretended to be someone I'm not. I'm not a celebrity, I've never ever misused my name. I don't let anyone who works for me misuse it either. I was never interested in making money. When I did start to get some cash, I thought it was far too much than I deserved. I try to give away to the less fortunate as much as I can and tell my children this too."
Bono inspires me. He inspires me to be a better human being, in every way. I want to at least attempt to be like him, and that can't be bad because he has great morals and principles. I really admire the man. He has a heart of gold, he's just so honest, genuine and truly caring. He's so positive and generous in every way. He is so humble, he's never been misguided by his larger than life status. I love him. Not because he is hotter and sexier than hell(haha, that's still something!) but because he is to me, someone worth admiring. He is a gift sent to this sinful earth to teach us some stuff! Thank you Bono. I love you.
Sorry for the gushfest, but I just had to let my feelings out.
