U2 frontman and AIDS activist Bono – a critic of President Donald Trump in the past – was full of praise for the president's No. 2, telling Vice President Mike Pence "we really appreciate" his past support for AIDS relief.

Bono has always been an unusual figure.  Although in terms of his social and political commitments, he's pretty much what you'd expect a celebrity rocker to be, unlike the vast majority of them, he actually studies matters before speaking, understands economics (probably as a result of studying) and has a genuine commitment to what works, even when that means making common cause with those of us on the right.

And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Wife's a stewardess. She met him one flight. He sang for her and her colleagues.

Always had a soft spot for him since.
