He is always like that,he does his cute little bite the finger thing!
Earnie Shavers said:All that "Australia leading the world" thing. Clearly the man hasn't schooled up too far on John Howard. The guy won't do a thing unless there's something in it for him (or Australia) in return. Bono is going to have to prove to him that going for that .5 is going to get him something hard in return. Like access to a natural resource or something.

Angela Harlem said:I thought he was uncomfortable, anxious almost. I thought if he weren't so familiar with interviews it'd have been worse. Dunno what for though, and it might have been just me.

If we are so valid and valued, lip service aside, then why not meet our pissy little PM? After all, he met the bloody pope.
Earnie Shavers said:
I think he only ever really looks comfortable in 'soft' interviews, some young MTV girl lobbing him questions about how many pairs of sunglasses he owns or something. Any interview like this, he tends to look like at any moment he's going to leap off the couch and jump out the window.
Angela Harlem said:
That part of the interview bothered me. It's like 'which direction do you take'. All me being cynical though. Or maybe not. I'm sick of celebs and others wanking on with how great Australia is, ehen their every action speaks volumes in another direction. You can't wax lyrical with us leading the world when you've just finished talking about meeting with the pope, and many Bush stories but have never met John Howard. If we are so valid and valued, lip service aside, then why not meet our pissy little PM? After all, he met the bloody pope.
timothius said:Bono's reason for hope from the Australian Government might be because the only Australian MP or Senator he has met would be willing to raise the funding to about 5.0 instead of 0.5.
Earnie Shavers said:
No, I understood what he was saying. I just think he was a bit off base with a few subtle and not so subtle shifts in this country since the last U2 tour here. As a tiny example, you wonder if Bono tuned into the ABC this evening to see how that turned out, and caught 4 Corners beforehand. Not the shining example of the things he spent most of the Popmart showing praising this country for, and I personally feel like it's a very different place. Striding around confidently? Economicaly yes. Relaxed and comfortable?

The Cronulla riots.

At least these are figures Irishmen and Australians are familiar with.
Earnie Shavers said:Remember Bono was comparing Australia with Canada as societies that could/should lead the world (as examples to others, not in raw power) in the future. Some things about the two countries are still very similar, some were a decade ago but are now very fucking far apart.

Speaking about the rearranged dates, he continued: “It will be the only time, you know, we get a chance to play these songs for a long time, it will be extraordinary.”
