That said, you need to have the ego to do what he has done.

I can't imagine a shy, unassuming person would take leaders of the world to task... let alone stand on stage in front of thousands of people and rock out.

Bono is one of the few rock stars I have any respect for beyond their art. He doesn't just talk shit... he gets out there any *does* something about it. That is commendable for someone who could just sit on his ass and collect royalty checks between gigs.
Well I don't mind someone with confidence, or even a bit of ego, so long as they keep it in check. Bono looks like he's constantly on the verge of trying to have sex with himself. I don't know; I do like U2 though, and I like the whole "helping the world" thing. Just he as a person kind of pisses me off.
