I say this with the utmost love for Bono: between the large, round glasses circa 1992, the fly-catching mouth, and the Frankenstein boots that are getting progressively thicker soled, B’s becoming a caricature of himself. As much as I tire of them, bring back the tried ‘n’ true wrap-arounds and contact the Prada Shoe Division STAT. Ending materialistic commentary now.

I love Bono, but sometimes he plays up the rockstar act a little too much. Ah well, no need for us to comment, I’m sure there are three good mates of his already giving him shit about it.
If Bono were a little more to the left, it’d look like Larry’s giving him a wedgie.
