Bono blogs
“As the sun arcs over the Manhattan skyline and the markets start dancing nervously out of time, the lyrics I’ve been scribbling over breakfast have been removed and replaced by spreadsheets with large numbers in tiny font as we wrestle with EU budgets in advance of meetings later today with Presidents Sarkozy and Barroso.”
Thus writes Bono on the Financial Times Millennium Development Goals Conference diary. Bono shares his blogging duties with Jeffrey Sachs.
We’d love it if he’d blog about music.

Bono has matured great, as an activist/political figure to an extent. Too bad music is not his passion anymore. 30 yrs of music has taken a toll on him, he aspires for greater challenges.
30 yrs with the same partner will aspire some to look somewhere else…poor example.

You can bet that the musician and activist go hand in hand, If it were not for the message and sound of his music this musician would not be the activist he is today. We can only try to make our mark even if we don’t tour, make millions on a records, we can try to help the world and make it a better place for future human beings.

I’m so tired of waiting for the new album to come out. I feel disconnected with U2 right now. It’s wierd; if I wait too long without a new U2 cd.. the cord gets cut. I need my daily vitamin which is new U2 music to listen to.
