- The Resource Miracle May 22, 2012[Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse." 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 […]
- Bono Pays One More Tribute to Steve Jobs May 22, 2012Bono made an appearance via video tonight at the Webby Awards, contributing to a tribute to Steve Jobs.

Such a spirit of Irish music in memory of Ronnie Drew. B’s voice sounds good, and blends well with Shane McGowan’s. Good to sea Sinead — haven’t seen her in awhile. And The Dubliners are excellent as usual.

I think Bono performance is embarrassing…why can’t he take a step back…he’s there with a bunch of other musicians, great ones, and what’s he doing? Trying to steal the show.

The song didn’t grab me at first, but it’s been stuck in my head for days now. I wonder if a bit of Irish fiddle will work its way into U2′s hand-held traditional world ethnic beat techno trance?

Don’t be silly. YOu think all these other musicians didn’t expect this? YOu think he was any less enthusiastic during rehearsals? I can agree that the others are GREAT too, but Bono provides the “punch” wherever he goes – and that’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

I think the others are glad Bono’s the centre of attention and the cameras aren’t in their faces.
