The Slow Loris
War Child
With the first video - was he really being sincere here? He comes across overly humble…almost purposefully naive. I have seen interviews of him during The Joshua Tree era, and he has always come across far more in touch with his spiritual side during this time. Sometimes I wonder if he was acting humble on purpose, or if he really was going through a personality shift during this time, almost a transitional phase toward his more cocky, rock star, assured Zoo TV self. One could do a full research study on Bono's personality and metamorphosis, it seems….

Now compare this personality and interview to the following one from Zoo TV only a few years later (pretty much the Bono we know today):

Ironically, he is actually describing in this Zoo TV interview how he threw out the sincerity…and how he still didn't "know who [he is]" . Funnily enough, his singing voice also changed along with this (public) personality shift. Gone was the operatic, spiritually pleading vocals of Unforgettable Fire & The Joshua Tree. I'm also not sure if this was also reflected in his private (off the camera) personality…but there was definitely a shift in his public personality.
Any thoughts on this, or am I looking far too deep here?
