This. Where the hell was this Bono when I saw U2 play Cowboy Stadium in Arlington. Enough with your guilting me about your charity or foundation or whatever you called it. STFU and sing!

Good for him.

A prize fighter in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts
Silver and gold
Silver and gold

"Yep, silver and gold.
This song was written in a hotel room in New York City.
'Round about the time a friend or ours, little Steven,
was putting together a record of artists against apartheid.
This is a song written about a man in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg.
A man who's sick of looking down the barrel of white South Africa.
A man who is at the point where he is ready to take up arms
against his oppressor.
A man who has lost faith in the peacemakers of the west while
they argue and while they fail to support a man like bishop Tutu
and his request for economic sanctions against South Africa.

Am I buggin' you?
I don't mean to bug ya.

Ok Edge, play the blues."

He's held that opinion for a long time. He's involved in a lot of African charities. He's stated that all of the donated goods flowing to Africa is killing businesses. No businesses, and the people remain dependent on the handouts. His example is why buy from a clothing shop when there are shiploads of free clothes flowing into the region?

Yep. This isn't new for him.

Well... What are we supposed to do with the t-shirts for the super bowl loser then?

I still have never gotten over them adding their album to everyone's phone without permission.
