Tom Hanks says Bono is the 4th most powerful person in the world

[dano]

We just got high-speed internet and I was watching a Q&A with Tom Hanks about Polar Express and at the end he starts talking about going to see Oprah in Chicago. The interviewer asked why he went to see Oprah and he says "Come on, you've got Nelson Mandela, the Pope and Bono. Well actually Oprah maybe goes before Bono but those are the 4 most powerful people in the world." A funny little sidenote to the interview that I thought I'd share...

 

[ZeroDude]

Well, maybe but i don't think Bono has an army, pretty sure Oprah does.

 

[believer75]

I don't if he has an army, but I bet he could assemble one Rally the troops for the cause of good!!

 

[ZeroDude]

would we all sign up or run to the pub?

 

[believer75]

sign up and then run to the pub!! I believe that's where the meetings are held. Or maybe there will be a sign-up sheet at the pub. Now that's an idea!!

 

[ZeroDude]

lol, would be the best plan of action

 

[beau2ifulday]

[ZeroDude]

Bono defenitly has an army and I'm in it. It's a good army though.

 

[ZeroDude]

state of the art equipment designed to spread love?

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

And coolness.

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

Coolness, yeah baby!lol!

 

[dano]

Come on guys, I've heard Bono say before that the Irish aren't a "cool" people but instead are "hot" because of their passion. I haven't heard that soundbyte much lately but 4 years ago it was all the rage when he was giving interviews.

 

[ZeroDude]

oh no were cool

 

[AtomicBono]

And coolness.

and sexiness. Bono's sexiness must be spread across the globe! Onward, troops! 1, 2, 3, 14!

[rileybug]

[ZeroDude]

[TheBrazilianFly]

[U2Vertigoing]

With his big mouth Bono don't need an army

But if there's ever gonna be a Bono's army I'm in it

 

[caragriff]

i actually remember when bono and edge were doing the concert in africa, was it last year, with beyonce and dave stewart, etc.?
well, dave stewart was asked about his involvement in africa and he basically used the term "bono's army"
he said something like he was just a soldier in bono's army.
i think it's the army of love.

 

[karmic_postmark]

hah, Bono's got his army - it's called PLEBA

 

[bonojr62]
