Bono looks paranoid and cold,
Eve looks beautiful like her Mother,
And the girl beside her has baby cheeks
a spring chicken what have you,
not a real chicken, needless to say
all cute.
Bono to appear on stage with Suu Kyi at concert during whistle-stop tour independent
this is the Man i recognize not the one with the queen
(any british monarchists here are not meant to be offended)
This is really amazing, especially for Bono as he really was the spearhead of the campaign to free Suu Kyi since at least the year 2000. Good for Suu Kyi for receiving recognition and good for Bono as well.

1) B-man has an honourary knighthood, if he were a British subject he would've become Sir Paul. By accepting it he recognised the queen's position (as the representative of the British people), a knighthood is exactly that: a nation honouring an individual, through its head of state. It didn't bother Geldof to get this type of recognition, did it?
2) B-man likes hobnobbing with the elite; he doesn't care if it's the Pope, Bill Gates, Suu Kyi, presidents Clinton, Lula, Bush, Medvedev, fellow Irishman: president Barry O'Bama and they like to be seen with him (probably not relevant for QE2, though).
He is cocky enough to think he can influence them and he has been proven right in this respect. Good on him!
3) When B-man is engaging with the likes above, he still remains true to himself (witness the convo with Lizzy, his audience with the pope or on radio with Clinton); he breaks down barriers using his charme, that's his job, it's why we like him, so why would we want him to stop doing this?
