He really does look great in that pic. Very yummy! I certainly would, anyway.

Thank you so much for the amazing Leibovitz photo of Bono.
As a photographer I appreciate the artistry of her genius.
As a Bonophile I had to laugh and agree with the "I'm sad and lonely...come straddle me" comment, LOL
Seriously, though, what wonderful recognition for our heroes. Is Geldof is on the facing page of this photo? And if so, would it be possible to scan that also?
As a fan of both icons of social justice, it would make the photo spread complete for me. Thanks muchly.

YES PLEASE!!!!
I'm sitting here cracking up at that comment, but it's so true, too. I saw a VF with Kate Moss at the grocery store a little while ago, but the cashier was too quick ringing my things up for me to check for the picture. I have to have a copy of this to drool over!
I think Bono beats out Adam and becomes my new wallpaper.
It's not the VF w/Kate Moss on the cover, but I can't remember who IS on the cover. I went to my friend's house, who has a subscription to VF, X-Acto knifed the goods (very good goods!) and then drove eratically back home. It is the Jan. issue, though.
Voof!
Voof!

C'mon people...this color scheme was done on purpose!! Annie L. no doubt saw the color of his shades and thought it best to shoot in this particular room. Or, might have even consulted with Bono on the color shades he should wear. Open your minds...I've never read so many negative remarks about one of the greatest photogs of our time, nevermind the negative remarks by fans of the world's greatest band, ABOUT the world's greatest frontman...you people call yourselves fans? It's called ART and those colors were meant to happen that way. STOP COMPLAINING. I've never been in a fan forum where I've read so many negative comments about the band you claim you love. It's beautiful.

AMEN!! it would make an amazing cover! Some cover shots of the Bonoman recently, just haven't done him justice. This shot by Annie Liebovitz is just an interesting photo in so many ways.
Although, I was thinking that probably right after she got him to pose so seriously, he probably cracked a smile. It made me think of the 60 minute interview, when he was teasing Ed Bradley about "I bet you have a posse, right?" and he smiled at him. His smile was so intoxicating.
Wouldn't it have been amazing to be able to go through all the proofs that Annie Liebovitz took of Bono? Oh MAN!! That would be like being a kid in a candy store. I bet they are all good. She just has an eye for catching that "something" about the person she photographs. Man, she's good!! Does anyone have other photos of Bono taken by her?, and ... Does anyone have a scan of Bob Geldoff to show also?

Geldof is indeed on the couch with Bono. It's in the January Vanity Fair; they're two of the magazine's Heroes of 2005. Naomi Watts is on the cover. Just bought the issue tonight at my local Seven-Eleven.
And if I knew how the heck to work my scanner ...
Edit: Whatta know, I figured out how to work my scanner! Here's the Bob Geldof half of the Geldof/Bono Vanity Fair photo, for you Geldof-Boomtown Rats-Live8/Live Aid fans:

thank you jobob! nice to see Bob too! He deserves to be shown with the B-man! After all he is the one that dragged Bono into the Africa thing to begin with.

Thank you so much! Geldof is sometimes a difficult subject to get a pleasing photo of; should have known Leibovitz would work magic...
