Bono, star of the music group,U2, was at the RNC Convention. He was interviewed by Bill O'Reilly on The No Spin Zone. Bono has been pretty outspoken in the past and even been pretty sympathetic toward causes considered more liberal. However, Bono admits that President Bush has been good to his word in providing a massive amount of funding for those suffering from AIDS in Africa.
I love U2 but I have to admit that Bono's been a little preachy and self-righteous in the past when he was promoting some of his pet causes. With O'Reilly, Bono was extremely articulate. He talked about his deep love for America and encouraged Americans to get involved in helping out in Africa. He said that America should get involved not just because it's the compassionate thing to do but because it's the smart thing to do. He's right.
I've never been a big fan of Bill O'Reilly. I think he's a bigmouth that enjoys hearing himself talk. When O'Reilly gave Bono a chance to talk he was very impressive. So impressive that I might actually buy the next U2 cd. (I have almost all of them.)
Bono was promoting a website where people can get involved in fighting AIDS in Africa. It's called DATA. Check it out.
