Hanging out with politicians and corporations is very unhip work. But I think that the U2 audience have turned out to be incredibly subtle in their understanding.
In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.
I will admit that we are attracted to issues that unify people rather than divide them.
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.
