In October 2016, Bono of U2 did something only 130,314 other celebrities had done. He spoke out against Donald Trump.

Wow, man, that is the way to stand up to The Man.

Rolling Stone reported, "U2 mocked Donald Trump and his proposed border wall before performing 'Bullet the Blue Sky' at a concert in San Francisco on Wednesday.

Every ahole in the world wants to tell us what we're about and what we should be doing. A little 'nationalism' is in order.

Oh, yes, U2, that Irish band, that moved their financial operations to The Netherlands in order to avoid taxes.

Everyone needs a Dixie Chics moment.

Willie Nelson is an avowed liberal. I have gone to quite few of his concerts over the years. He comes out and sings his songs. No jokes, no political commentary, he just comes out and sings. The man knows he does not need to piss off alienate 50% or more of his audience.

I'm bumping up this thread, because I heard about this other this morning even though, it happened shortly after the 2018 concert in the OP:

Gemma O'Doherty@gemmaod1
Chief servant of the #NWO cult in #Ireland and Clinton stooge Bono shouts out to his ‘old friend’ arch paedophile Theodore McCarrick and racially attacks Swedish people because of their looks. Perverts @U2
 are a stain on #Ireland. Tick tock..  #GreatAwakening #ThesePeopleAreSick

And an article from 2018:

Bono uses 'devil clown alter ego' to mock Sweden with Nazi salutes during U2 concert after the country saw surge in support for anti-immigrant party in elections

    U2 frontman Bono mocked Sweden and the leader of far-right party

    Bono shouted name of Sweden Democrats leader and did a Nazi salute

    Far-right SD won 17.6 per cent of the vote on Sunday's general election

    Party was the biggest among male voters in Sweden, with 24 per cent of vote

    Sweden facing weeks of coalition talks after neither major bloc wins majority

    Social Democrats stay largest at 28.4 per cent but with lowest share since 1908

    Leaders of all other parties have ruled out forming a government with SD

That's real bad, he seems to be doing something charitable for the coronavirus right now, that was in other news but this is real hateful stuff on his end. I never thought their music was that great though, I did get Joshua Tree. That's decades ago.

Bono lost his voice? 

All politics aside.

@TomSea, the "news" we get here in the US is so filtered and dominated by ProgMedia people on both sides of the Atlantic that I'm not able to discern whether European political parties like the Sweden Democrats are genuinely the neo-Nazis ProgMedia people claim they are, or reasonable conservative people being slandered for political gain.

As for Bono, he's always been the sort of Christian who thinks the sort of charity Jesus commanded should be done via government power.

I heard he was for the legalization of abortion in Ireland, no friend of mine after that.
