Liam’s View

The best band of the last 3 decades, 21 Grammys, not nominations, wins. I’m
talking about the Irish rock band U2
of course. Yes, again, I’ve been out of the scene, the latest U2 album I’ve
herd is U2000, and I love it.

Bono, part of the driving force behind U2 and it’s lead vocalist, (for those
of you that have been under a rock longer then I have) was nominated for a Nobel
Peace Prize in 2005. First I hear many asking why a rock star would be nominated
for a Nobel Peace Prize, Bono even said that. I don’t buy it that Bono is a
rock star that is doing things for world peace, I believe that Bono is worthy
of the Noble Peace Prize because his works toward world peace and individual
peace is something that he is, it’s his true core. He would do it if he wasn’t
a ‘rock star’, it’s his nature, his character, he acts it out in his music and
every aspect of his life. His ‘rock stardom’ has just given him the platform
to do what he truly believes in. Sad that there are so many others with clout
and money as he has that don’t choose to do anything but further their own selfish
ends with it.
