18. He's really become the Darth Vader Of Music
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 07:17 PM by TheWatcher
There was a time when he was younger, about 20 years ago, when he really stood for something, and he was a very powerful presence, and really was genuinely Righteous (Much like Anakin, from the Star Wars Mythos)

When you look at him now, he is a pathetic Polar Opposite of what he once was. The Righteousness has been replaced by Self-Righteousness, Self-Importance, Arrogance, and Hypocrisy. ("He's More Machine Than Man, now. Twisted and Evil.")

He is something completely opposite of the man he was 25 years ago.

Even members of his own band are getting tired of his shit. Larry Mullen Jr even said in a recent interview that it was disturbing to him that Certain members of the band were propping up and validating War Criminals.

And he's right.

But hey, you have to give him credit, he managed to find a virtually endless revenue stream in the blind faith, devotion, and belief of the Public.

As he so often arrogantly says on stage after a show ends "Thanks For Giving Us A Good Life."

Bono, you need to GET A LIFE. You're a hollow parody of what once was.

At least people like Bush, Blair, and your "good friend" Jesse Helms made no bones about what they are. They wear their evil and corruption proudly on their shoulders, overt for all the world to see.

You're the worst kind of hypocrite.

Nothing more than a Snake Masquerading As A Saint.
