here's what urban dictionary has to say about him:
Bono:
The vocalist and sometimes guitarist of the Irish rock group U2
a beyond talented musician who uses his gift of gab to encourage people to help each other
trying to drop the debt, and trying to get african aids victims better mdeication
Lead singer of U2. Some people would elaborate on this statement with a "Bono is an arrogant self righteous, big headed, smug arse- and he proves this by helping out third world countries..."
Hm...somehow that statement seems to be contradicting itself a little. Bono is a little lime light hogging at times sure, but he's a performer- obviously he'd be a pretty crap show man if he hated the attention.
Think about it- He is Bono- if he wanted ego gratification then he could just put on a spontaneous U2 concert and see how many people showed up and yelled themselves hoarse for him and the band. He does charity work because he actually cares about it- if he gets a heckalot of publicity for it than hm...I dont know...it might have something to do with him also being the front man of a huge rock band. Besides the publicity helps the charity. I'm sure the people whos lives have been saved due to Bonos work dont really care about his motives anyhow.
To people who have made a statement similar to "I hate Bono because of his ego boosting charity work." I pose the question- Have you done better?
Bono deserves the praise he gets for his work in third world countries.
also known as "God". He's the lead singer of the best band in the world (U2), an activist with a great heart, and an advocate for justice.
The most fantastic man alive, and lead singer in the mind-blowingly beautiful band U2. A musical genius and a humanitarian. He has numerous groupies, including God. He is also my soulmate.
A great frontman, an even better person. Is using his fame to fame to denounce violence in Ireland, help the ailing African nations, among other worthy causes. A smart person with a big heart, in short.
Bono shared Time's Person of the Year.
When Bono said "Unos, dos, tres, catorce" he was reffering to a verse in the Bible, and also hinting that How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is U2's 14th album.
Wannabe American, Irish narcissist, who reckons he has a God given right to preach at politicians about what's wrong with the world while hoarding his own obscene wealth where taxes can't touch him. Still peddles his bland, pompous, corporate music around the world, charging $100 a ticket so people can watch him disappear further up his own arse.
Bono is a smug, self-righteous, wanker.
A Bland irish Musician in the band U2, who helps third world countries, yet also stars in apple ads, to help just make that trade margin between the rich countries and the poor countries just that little bit larger, but dispite that little minor hypocrisy there, bono has daft looking glasses,is incredibly pietistical and writes not necessarly talentless music, but has the keen ability to write the same song, over and over again, and Just for anyone goes "your stupid bono isn't self rightous....", and i quote from the golden oldy of a rocker, "I don't know why, but we always had this belief that there was something sacred about our music, that it was almost holy.".
Bonehead more like. A talentless dwarf irish schlock rock singer who's been releasing the same overblown pompous wank rock song over and over again since 1980. A man who's level of understanding of geopolitics is around GCSE level but who insists on lecturing us all on how to save the world. A prick who goes on about 3rd world poverty all the time yet is strangely silent when it comes to really political issues like Iraq. In fact, worse than that, the little twat sucks around Tony Blair (the man responsible for hundreds of thousand of deaths in the middle east), has photo opportunities hugging the cunt and tells us all to vote for him! He even donates his crappy 'beautiful day' song for cunt Blair to use as his election theme. Oh yes Bonehead, I bet its a beautiful day in Iraq you fake little fuckwitted douchebag. In fact it gets worse, the horrible ugly sunglassed asswipe organises 'Live 8' with his arselicker-in-chief Bob Geldof to 'make poverty history' (I can really see that working - watching a bunch of over the hill has-beens flogging their latest album is really gonna make a difference to starving children in Africa) but really to drag up a bunch of his corpse mates from the 80's and flog a few albums. Then all the performers and their entourages who are all supposed to be doing this for charity (about 300 people altogether) get a £5000 goodie bag (containing Ipods, chanel perfume etc) to take home with them as a thank you! (Laughable. You couldn't make this stuff up. He then makes it a condition of the gig that (because war criminal Blair is his mate) no performers are allowed to mention Iraq, Afghanistan or Bush and Blair. What a horrible, hypocritical little wanker. 'In the name of love' my fucking arse. In the name of money more like. Fuck off and die in Mortal Kombat style pain you smug twat!
Bono? Isn't he that shortarsed little twat who's always lecturing us on how to save the world? The talentless, phoney, fuckwitted cunt.
A smug, self-righteous, Irish, hypocritical asshole. Whinges that the government doesn't spend any money to give aid to starving African kids, while eating caviar and flying in his private jet around the world to make millions of dollars by performing shitty music to stupid teenagers. Believes that his music will be remembered for a hundred years. Asshole.
"I think my music will be remembered a hundred years" - Bono.
bono
some people can be so hateful! i'd like to see their alternatives (and their efforts to actually act out on them) to assisting developing nations. anyway at least this proves that he has definitely helped to bring poverty and AIDS to the forefront. I'm not saying others don't, but so many people equate him for that role. Whether people agree with him or not, at least they are talking about it.
