Both of them. And I'd be tempted to lump Dolores O Riordan in with them as well...

 

Biggest * ??

Between my legs, obviously.

BOOOM! !!!!.

 

Bono is the * *.

 

Bono

 

Geldof hands down

 

Im not sure which of the two I hate more tbh

 

Tried to vote for both of them, pair of patronising twats. Remind me of smashie and nicey " we do a lot of work for charity, but don't like to talk about it" Brit lovin fannies.

 

Bono for me as he is always giving his opinions on saving the world .

 

Geldof

 

I read the story at the time I think you are wrong. Why would he choose London of all places to make this stand?

 

For most successful rock bands, voicing political opinions is always risky, but criticizing your own fans for their political leanings is completely forbidden. Three decades ago, however, U2 singer Bono did both — in the same breath.

The band is marking the 30th anniversary of “The Joshua Tree” on Wednesday and Thursday with shows at MetLife Stadium. It’s an album that spent two months at No. 1 on the charts and spawned No. 1 singles “With or Without You” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”

But as U2 took the stage in Denver on Nov. 8, 1987, on the original “Joshua Tree” tour, frontman Bono wasn’t basking in the success — much of it brought about by the support of Irish-Americans. Instead, he was fuming with anger.

Earlier in the day, in the small Northern Irish town of Enniskillen, a bomb planted by the Irish Republican Army had detonated during a Remembrance Day parade honoring World War I vets. The explosion killed 11 people and injured dozens — many of them retirees. A 12th victim would pass away after 13 years in a coma.

The broadly Catholic IRA had sought to drive out an occupying British army from Northern Ireland for decades using guerrilla tactics. The Unionists, loyal to the British government, had their own terrorist factions, and *-for-tat attacks were common. But this bombing was especially heinous: No warning was given, and it occurred in an area packed with civilians. It was roundly condemned; British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher called it “a blot on mankind.”

Bono told Newsweek in 1984. “But what was that money for? Those dollars were arriving in the streets of Belfast and Derry as weapons and bombs.”

But for some fringe members of the Irish Republican cause, even that was seen as a betrayal, and they weren’t shy in letting the band know about their anger.

In the 2005 book “Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas,” the singer recalled an incident in the early ’80s when the band’s car was surrounded by IRA supporters, with one even trying to smash the windows with his hands while screaming, “Brits! Traitors!”

told Loudwire magazine in 2016.


“The danger may not have come from someone within the IRA,” the musician said. “It could have come from any Republican angered by Bono’s words, a lone-wolf or rogue element, someone with a lot of rage who felt their cause had been undermined. It took guts for him to say what he said because, as someone in the public eye, the threat of reprisal was real — whether sanctioned or not.”

Whatever the actual threat level for Bono and U2 in the late ’80s, it gradually subsided as the opposing factions in Northern Ireland sought peace during the 1990s. Eventually, the power-sharing government proposed in the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 was put to a public vote. U2 even played a cameo role in the process by appearing at a concert in Belfast, designed to help convince young voters to accept the peace deal. They did, and the agreement stands to this day.

But the “Sunday * Sunday” sequence of “Rattle and Hum” remains a tense document of more dangerous times.

“Most Americans didn’t get it,” Joanou says. “When people saw Bono making his speech in the movie, it was like, ‘OK, yeah, cool! Whatever.’ But for Bono and U2, it was completely serious, and they risked a lot by letting the world see it.”

 

Just remembered Geldof compared the leaders of 1916 to ISIS. He takes it.
