Lunch with Bono
Click to see inside.
Bono’s design for the Lunchbox Auction to benefit the Food Bank for New York City and the Lunchbox Fund will become available for bidding tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 28) at 6 p.m. PST on the auction site hosted at eBay.
Bono’s design seems to say that the singer feels what’s on the inside is more important than what’s on the outside.

Norwegian Would-be Bono
Although somewhat old news, we just learned about it recently and couldn’t help but pass it on. Norwegian entertainer Kristian Valen has done a Bono impersonation that can be found here (look for U2 – Elevation). Kristian has released a DVD, “Valen TV,” containing a U2 impersonation which we believe to be the one featured on the web site, but we have not yet been able to confirm it. For those not fluent in Norwegian, you might want to know that the producer tells Kristian to “stick to the script, and no vulgarity!”

When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
