In Vancouver on April 27, U2 filmed the video for "City of Blinding Lights" at GM Place. As I was standing in line to get in, there was an employee walking around and asking if any U2.com members were there. I said I was a member and he asked for my card, which I don't carry with me (augh!) and he said sorry, then moved on. Anyone know why he would have been asking for membership cards?
...but Bono is beginning to annoy me. I mean, don't get me wrong i'm a huge U2 fan, but recently i can't stand Bono and all of his political jabberings.
A week or so ago a friend and i were talking about celebrities and their need to speak on behalf of impovershished countries. And of course Bono came up. In the heat of the conversation i started to think of things like "Bono is preaching about how poor other countries are, but he is wearing Dolce Gabana"..."The sunglasses Bono wears are 300+"...And i started to think "What a hypocrite".
Before you decide to load you guns and track me down, i will let you know i acknowledge what Bono has down for impoverished countries. I realize how much better things are because of all the attention he brings to these countiries. I know he is the reason thousands of dollars are raised each year. I am aware of the clothing line Edun, and of D.A.T.A .
But right now, Bono is under my skin.
