I also thought it was quite ironic MTV airing Diary right after Cribs - come on does that little rap kid need a thousand sneakers (he doesn't even know how many) and do these people really need multiple cars, extravagant swimming pools - it made me sick and then to see Diary and how the people living on less than $1 a day seemed more happier, more real - theres something really f*cked about Americas priorities.
Just like Bono said, he's not a hero because he's a celebrity but the mothers and sisters and children and brothers who battle day to day to drink any, if clean, water and find shelter over their head and some to know they will die losing this battle knowing there is medicines available but can't afford them. I didn't see any despiration in anyones eyes - just celebration of life, like the memory book and all the singing and dancing.
hmmmmm...bono was so humbled and gracious, it was such a human side - not once did I think about licking his neck or kissing those wonderful lips. I just watched quietly and am, obviously, still trying to catch my breath.
