oh for god sakes. bono wasn't being literally serious. i dont know why some people can't get a sense of humour or see the tongue in cheekness of things. its pretty obvious.
that's half of the problem with the world, lol.
what he's doing actually makes me respect him more.. and the way he makes a joke of things and not taking himself seriously, and yet giving off a good message at the same time. exactly, thats what ZOO TV was all about and many people took that very wrong, sadly.
though, i can definitely see how some people could take certain things the wrong way, but i think in the end bono made it pretty clear what he was doing and why.
i never attended any ZOO TV concert, but ive seen it on tape and read much about it and of course.. the songs say a lot about it as well. its one of the MOST genius concert themes ever, and especially hitting a nerve thats been needed to be hit, and never was by anyone else that way before. i think bono and the guys should have gotten more credit for the ZOO TV thing, and Bono's way of flicking off negative shit said about him and making humour out of it. i find that very admirable. i just wish more people could remove their blindfolds and see this as well.
some people even made comments about when he went up to his reflection in the mirror on stage and kissed it and said "You're beautiful!" at himself during that tour... (dressed as MacPhisto, of course), people took that the wrong way too. and it was those who didnt understand the character or that he was actually in character... and was actually mocking the evils, not being evil himself.
"mock the devil and he shall flee!"
