I was really lucky that I came to puberty at a time when music and politics were completely intertwined

Mankind at its most desperate is often at its best

Bono as we all know, is in love with the world, he's enamoured by it. I'm enraged by it. He wants to give the world a great big hug, I want to punch its lights out.

I don't think anyone sets out to malign poor people but certainly that's what we do through organizations such as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

Tell me why...... I don't like Mondays.

When I hit 11 so did the careers of Dylan and the Stones. A year later it was the Who and the Kinks.
