From The New York Post:
February 2, 2002 -- Rocker-with-a-cause
Bono got U-too nasty in front of a
gray-haired crowd of about 1,000 CEOs and other biz-world bigwigs at the
World Economic Forum - by touting his fight against the "corporate
mother----er."
The
foulmouthed frontman opened an exclusive all-star concert Wednesday
night with a passel of potty talk
while praising his pal, Vivendi Universal
boss Jean-Marie Messier.
Bono praised Messier for helping with his struggle to reduce Third World
debt - and "fight the corporate mother----er."
The quip gave a punk-rock shock to a crowd that included the likes of Shimon
Peres, Bishop Desmond Tutu and Sidney Poitier. It also drew a load of uneasy
laughs.
While Bono - a forum participant set to powwow with Bill Gates today
sounded like a street anarchist, actual anarchists went corporate as protests
again fizzled.
Bill Gates
*cannot wait to see a pic of them together*
Edge must be so jealous!
