Bono denies plans for "Live Aid 2"
Tue 1 June, 2004 15:15
By Gideon Long
DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish rock star Bono has played down rumours that he and his friends in the music industry are planning a second Live Aid concert to raise money to fight AIDS.
He said a "Live Aid 2", nearly 20 years after the first epoch-defining event to help the starving of Ethiopia, would not raise enough cash to adequately tackle the AIDS crisis.
Instead, he urged the countries of the European Union to fulfil their pledge to commit 0.7 percent of their national incomes to overseas aid.
"At this point there are no plans for a Live Aid 2," Bono told reporters as he entered a meeting of EU development ministers in Dublin. "It's always there in the background but right now, no.
"Right now we're after billions (of dollars) not millions. A Live Aid 2 would help, but it wouldn't fix the problem."
Bono, frontman of rock giants U2 and a long-time campaigner on development issues, said a Live Aid concert would not be needed if governments in the developed world kept their promises on aid.
"We saw those pictures (of the starving in Ethiopia) 20 years ago. I don't want to see those pictures again," he said.
"There are plans being discussed on these tables (at the EU) which, if implemented, mean we wouldn't have to see those pictures again."
Bono, dressed in a purple suit and wearing his trademark wrap-around sunglasses, said the Scandinavians were alone in the EU in fulfilling their pledge to give 0.7 percent of their national income to overseas aid.
"There are some laggards hanging out here, and I'm going to be putting my hand in their wallets," he said as he headed in through the imposing doorway of Dublin Castle to meet the ministers.
"For me it's not really about charity at this point, it's about justice."
Bono said some EU countries had reneged on their promises because, as their economies expanded, they had realised that 0.7 percent of their national income was more, in absolute terms, than they had anticipated.
"This is renegotiating your deal with God downwards," said Bono, a committed Christian.
Bono, 44, was involved with the first Live Aid concert at London's Wembley Stadium in 1985 -- the brainchild of his friend and fellow Irishman Bob Geldof.
Both men have pressed Ireland to give development issues a higher profile during its presidency of the EU, which runs until the end of this month.

Damnit, I think he cut his hair a little shorter. I do not like that.
Re: Re: Bono in Dublin Castle Today
You think so? Look at the first one where it's blowing around from the back, it looks almost like JT Even if he did cut some at least he didn't cut it all, that must mean he wants to keep it!

Re: Re: Re: Bono in Dublin Castle Today
I think he did a little, I think you can see it if you compare it to the one where he is on the street with the Universal executives. It's still good though.
Ever since I?ve been here in PLEBA I?ve seen so man y pictures of Bono that I feel like his a personal friend or something.

Maybe just a little right where it comes to his collar, maybe because of the politicians. He's got plenty of time before the tour to grow it longer
Me too, it's like the words of Babyface I've seen him in the freeze frame so many times I feel like I'm his very best friend! And like the Cure song "I've been living so long wtih these pictures of you that I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel" Queen Bee made me a cool siggy of that, I'll have to put it back sometime!

Thanks
He sure does
He's always smiling now in these new pics! You know from time to time people will see the boys do or wear something and say, hey, they must have been reading PLEBA. Well as smiley as he's been recently it makes me wonder if he saw all the "unhappy Bono" stuff we went through here and he's determined to show us he is happy!

True.
Because of his age he could be my dad so sometimes I feel that paternal closeness. 
It's kinda creepy but I like it. In the end it's really because I think he just might be my biggest hero. He represents a lot of things I want to be.

Bono is a bit more clean-shaven heart:the cleft in his chin! ) and God bless him - he chose one color and stuck with it! I'll agree with the previous posts that he is an EXCELLENT role model and a true inspiration. All in all, he just looks friggin cool - the way that Bono should look

Thanks for the link Kel! He looks great!
Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah he looks fantastic. My favorite is the 1st one where he's walking. I still can't figure out if he's actually gotten a haircut.
