Bono Wisdom

Bono, one of the world's biggest small rock stars, has declared that "Politics is the new rock n' roll." He previously said, and this can be verified in the "real world", that "I'm fond of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. They are kind of the John and Paul of the global development stage, in my opinion. But the point is, Lennon and McCartney changed my interior world - Blair and Brown can change the real world." Bono said he was "sure" Lennon would approve of the changing of the real world that Blair and Brown have helped effect in their times on the political stage. "War isn't particularly nice, nor is lying one's way into war, yeah I know, but this is global development," said the leader of the shit band. "And what you have to remember is sometimes vast numbers of lives have to be ruined to aid the machinations of the spiritually diseased and materially bountiful few. That's what democracy's all about."
