Bono

Just got back from SLC Utah where I spent 6 hours (in the cold) waiting to see if I could get tickets to a sold out concert on Saturday. Well it was a success and I was able to see Kanye "Bush doesn't care about black people" West and U2 rock out the Delta Center. If you have not seen U2 live please put in on your list of things to do before you die or something, as it is totally worth it.

The messages that were portrayed throughout the concert were the ones that I try to preach everyday, co-existence, human rights and justice. It was the closest thing I have ever had to a spiritual experience. Mock that if you must, but I have never been convinced by a sermon, nor moved by a religious setting. Moreover, I have never ever cried at a concert before, but that all changed when U2 performed "Miss Sarajevo".

During "Sunday Bloody Sunday" Bono said that as a people "we must not become a monster to destroy a monster". That right there is the perfect statement, and everyone must remember that whether we are talking about spying, the Patriot Act, or the "War on Terror".

Even better, Bono was named one of the persons of the year by Time Magazine, for his work fighting poverty, AIDS, and injustice. Yay!
