Comments on: Bono’s prayer http://www.johnadams.org.uk/bonos-prayer/ Random thoughts from John Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:57:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Mark http://www.johnadams.org.uk/bonos-prayer/comment-page-1/#comment-177 Mark Sat, 04 Feb 2006 19:42:11 +0000 http://johnadams.org.uk/main/?p=96#comment-177 I think the Ministries gets an ibvite to this, so this year they sent the cook (lovely lady). I find it hard to listen to someone who wears expensive sunglasses telling people about poverty. Thats my only problem with Bono. Not a well researched problem I admit. I do have a problem with people who make him out to be the worlds greatest christian with the best message.

The Joshua Tree is my favourite album but I really do like that song too and often play "sometimes you can't make it on your own" on the way into work to remind myself that I really can't do it all!

I also like Bono - anyone who can <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/bush/story/0,7369,669349,00.html" rel="nofollow">influence die-hard Republicans</a> like Jesse Helms, George Bush and Paul O'Neill with intelligent and well-formed arguments on the need to seriously address global poverty gets my respect. OK, there's a <em>fortysomething Irish man</em> thing going on as well. My favourite lyrics are from <em>Sometimes you can't make it on your own</em>: <blockquote> "And it’s you when I look in the mirror And it’s you when I pick up the phone Sometimes you can’t make it on your own." </blockquote> I’ve liked U2 since their early days (IMHO Sunday Bloody Sunday can’t be beaten - except maybe by One).

And it’s you when I pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own.”
