No surprise here. Bono does a staggering amount of work behind the scenes, work that is often misunderstood and slighted, and reduced to a series of headlines, easily attacked by the cynics. If you take the time to go beyond the headlines, you will be staggered by what he is actually doing and has done.I’ve researched this recently, and am stunned at what he has done., and stunned at his eloquence in explaining these crises. Amazing. Kudos to you bono, and to you bill.
