I don't care for Bono's music, but like his mind!

2. Matthew -
Bono is a great man enough said.

3. DUDE -
Is that a picture of Bono....or Popeye??

4. Yahoo! Music User -
Really? I thought it was an out of control ego and a messiah complex that did it.

5. un4gettablefire -
Apparently NOT, mixter102!! LOL I do believe you're confusing a messiah complex with charisma!! Which is a RARE personal quality attributed to those who arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiam.

The out of control ego / conceit is also mistaken for confidence....belief in one's self and one's powers and abilities.

There are optimists...pessimists...and then, there are realists.

I think Bono's correct with his quote. DUDE, you're right too...he does look like popeye! LOL

6. DeeAnn -
He is a brilliant man. He is talented and a legend.

7. JillianneP -
does shawn amos actually get paid to write this crap? Unbelievable.

8. Irish American -
The majority of music that Bono has performed at his best is political. He has passion in his voice, that's what is unique about him. "A beautiful day" to "Bloody Sunday". His sardonic humor in "Across the Universe". He sat down with shades on w/Bush for Victims of Aids in Africa. That's why he's attractive to people. He tries to use his celebrity for a cause. He's not the greatest rocker, singer but he's got the "it factor" of a legend.

9. Yahoo! Music User -
Leave Bono Vox outta this.
Popeye TOO!

10. B -
Shawn, you're a douche bag. There is a petition circling that is trying to get you fired from yahoo music for your utter lack of taste and knowledge. Putting Cornell on your list of has been or soon to be has been artists has pissed off, just about everybody.

you suck. have a nice day.

You are a worthless meat sack amos, you should be charged for every breath you take
