U2 fever has hit Montreal. Somehow they’ve managed to fit two shows – one Saturday night, a second tonight – in between blasting Paul Martin on foreign aid.
Bono, as I’ve said before, we want your views on politics just as much as we want Paul Martin donning a leather jacket and belting out “Where The Streets Have No Name”. Which is to say, not at all. Not that I expect U2 to get out of politics anytime soon.
On the radio this morning, one of the leaders of a local West Island charity phoned in and mentioned having run into Bono at Hurley’s Pub on Saturday night, and apparently having chatted with him about domestic versus foreign aid. I don’t know how much that will change government policy, but it’s sure great advertising for Hurley’s.
Artists have always said/done what politicians cannot/will not. Way to go!
bono will never shut up….thankfully.
peace
I’d prefer listening Bono’s political views to listening to his singing.
