I posted a different version of this one above. I wonder what it's from. What's the story with this one? It's kind of a strange look for Bono, I think. And who are the people behind him?

I think if that were the case it'd be redder than that. Probably a bug bite. Lucky bug!

Here is the YouTube link for the Sun City video:

And here is a bit of info on "Sun City" (one of the most POWERFUL videos that I've ever seen):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_City_(album)
Sun City was a 1985 album that contained several versions of the Steven Van Zandt-led Artists United Against Apartheid's "Sun City" protest song against apartheid in South Africa as well as other selections in the same vein from that project.
History
In addition to the title track, a number of other songs were recorded at the time, completing an album's worth of material. Drummer-musician Keith LeBlanc and journalist Danny Schechter came up with "Revolutionary Situation", an audio-collage set to music that took its title from the words of South Africa's then-interior minister Louis Nel condemning the state of the country. Amid a background of yapping police dogs, sounds of mayhem and revolt in the township, LeBlanc and Schechter mixed in angry declarations by activists like Alan Boesak, Bishop Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela's daughter Zindzi, looped with what was at that time the most recent interview with her father, recorded in 1961.
Inspired by his meetings with several of other artists who volunteered, Bono of U2 went back to his hotel room and wrote the song "Silver and Gold" that very evening. The song was quickly recorded for inclusion on the compilation, with Keith Richards and Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones accompanying him. Ron Wood's guitar work is notable for using Keith's switchblade as a slide. "Silver and Gold" was also issued separately as a promotional single.
Sun City was a modest commercial success, reaching #31 on the Billboard 200 pop albums chart. It did much better in terms of critical reaction, where it reached #5 on the Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for albums for that year. In 1989, Sun City got the final spot on Rolling Stone's list of the best 100 albums of the 1980s.
In 1993, Sun City was issued on CD by Razor & Tie, but after the end of apartheid in 1994, the album eventually went out of print, becoming a highly-sought collectible item.

I'm very pleased to say that I have my original copy from 1986.
Thanks for such a beautiful thread.

That's a great video, and as usual you can find Bono snogging someone.

I'm glad that you liked the "Sun City" video, forbonou2.
For those of us who were aware of what was going on in SA at that time and part of the movement to end apartheid, that video/album/song was the inspiration that kept us going.
Thanks for the Bono nuzzling pic from the video.
Let's just say that Bono is the best, my friend.
