I'm annoyed by someone who thinks they can step in as a subject-mattter expert in another career (usually international politics) just because they've flown around to a few countries and read some things.<BR/><BR/>I respect someone who takes the time and effort to pursue his beliefs even though it is difficult to do so. I'm annoyed by someone who preaches to me at a concert when I'm there to hear music, not a harrangue.<BR/><BR/>So obviously I'm torn.<BR/><BR/>-- davidDavid Amulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758977878243268087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11886706.post-62005175642664170182007-06-09T16:34:00.000-07:002007-06-09T16:34:00.000-07:00I like Bono.

I think he's one of the few celebrity activists who actually has credibility. he's seen as an authority on things like cancellation of the third world debt even outside of rock circles. I'm not saying he's perfect, but he has devoteda lot of his fame to doing real good in the world, not just fake benefits and regurgitating received opinion. Plus, his band is probably the most important since the Beatles.bob_vinylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414008312753058491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11886706.post-70169069651262444042007-06-09T15:51:00.000-07:002007-06-09T15:51:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08703154815958841195noreply@blogger.com
