    I do what I can do charity-wise, but I can't see myself volunteering at a soup kitchen, and showing up wearing my nice leather coat, nice watch, slacks and dress shoes. I'd probably wear my poor people outfit. :p

    But that's the thing. The $1000 sunglasses and $750 scarf are Bono's "poor clothes".

    wow, you put a lot of effort into that :).

    but honestly, I've never done relief work in africa, but I'm sure what you wear depends on what you're actually doing all day.

    I didn't see a price tag on either item.

    The guy still sucks.
    I'm trying to drink away the part of the day I cannot sleep away...

    I have done relief work in Africa, and one thing you don't want to do is look too flashy, unless you have a security team behind you.

    But this is Bono's image now, this is how we recognize him. I don't really care how he looks, he makes awareness, and that's the important thing.
    It's not a crime to free your mind.

    That's not what I'm saying at all.

    I see showing up to help the poor while wearing J-Lo sunglasses a designer cashmere scarf, and 35 TV cameras, a bit much.

    and also, if he does help someone we'd be sure to know about it ;)

    I can just imagine him handing a little impoverished kid a sack of $2 rice....while wearing $1000 glasses, a $750 scarf, $800 shoes, $600 jeans and a $4000 leather jacket....and a $400 haircut (with $500 of coloring).

    He could do the same like most fortunate people on the face of mother earth: Do Nothing! Criticizing his expensive accessories is kind of lame, he's not a politician and doesn't need to be criticized why he's wearing what he wears. After all he doesn't live off our tax money and nobody voted for him. I'm glad at least one of those "Rockstars" cares even if his band isn't the greatest ....

    hey it's all good. but i guess the reason why so many people don't like him is because of the way he comes across, he just acts like an arrogant self-centred guy.
