Estranged Reality Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Maddox's article on Bono and U2 is still one of my favourites. ...[the band's] guitarist "The Edge." Yeah, that's his nickname: The Edge. I used to think names like "The Edge" or "Spike" were cool, but then I turned 12. The only way I could ever respect him is if he shouted some stupid catch phrase before every concert like "WATCH OUT! THE EDGE WILL CUT YOU!" That might almost be stupid enough to be cool again with the dumbass hipster crowd, until the next stupid trend shows up at Hot Topic for you to oversaturate and ruin.

GNRs00ks Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I don't think Bono is trying to be such a douche. He really doesn't bother me, it's great that he's atleast trying to help people. Unlike the rest of the world, who really don't care about each other for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbominableHoman Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Bono is annoying. I guess if he's actually raising attention and money for the causes he 'supports', then let him keep going, even if he's got ulterior motives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidswords Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Why does everyone have a problem with Bono? He is at least using his fame to help people in Africa...I mean he is doing a lot more then most politicains. I really admire bono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
