It's not Bono's pretentiousness that bothers me, it's something else that I've never quite been able to put my finger on.

It's politics.

Bono prancing around the UN or with national leaders from all over with his huge, yellow tinted sunglasses, ranting about the third world debt is just a pathetic image.

The man should put his money where his mouth is and try to make a difference instead of forcing it on other people. There is a reason that he and The Edge own the largest, most luxurious hotel in Dublin.

There are others, but that's one reason that I can't stand U2.

The man goes around the world and visits third-world countries and honestly tries to make a difference through holding fundraisers and the like for the destitute. Many of the people I know dislike Bono as a musician but like him as a humanitarian.

Like him or not, I think, if nothing else, his heart is in the right place.
