Bono, Musician and…Newspaper Columnist!

Filed under: Media Minute > Bono

Rocker and sunglasses spokesman Bono is going to write a new guest column for the New York Times.

Cuz why not???

The column will cover a range of topics, but we can only imagine that its contents will be on the GOOP-y side.

Bono got the gig because Times editorial page editor, Andrew Rosentha, thinks that Bono "is an extraordinary man who thinks deeply about his art and the major issues confronting the world."

And sunglasses.

      Bono, Musician and…Newspaper Columnist!c (LIBERAL, LYING, TWO FACED, HYPOCRITE)? When it's below zero outside he wants YOU to dial your heat down to 55 and he wants YOU to drive a car the size of your bathtub. He wants all this as he sits in his 50,000 square foot home letting his 5,000 gallon an hour jet warm up for a few hours before he fly's by himself to Africa to give a apple to a street urchin?

      Bono, for G-d sake, please stick to writing songs.
      You gave us "One" , "With or without you" , "Who's gonna ride your wild horses?" , "I still haven't found what I'm looking for", "Even better then the real thing" , "Love is blindness" and so many others great songs.
      I love U-2 . Please write more songs for us , Bono.

      his sunglasses are always nice!



    13. 13

      Oh God! Get him a copy of "Red Carpet Suicide" fast! He's trying too hard to be famous like the warm, kind, giving, humble, unselfish, generous, talented, respectful Pervez. Have you noticed that ginger-haired fags have cum that tastes like clorox?



    14. 14

      Bono is totally tiresome.
      I'm sick of U2, him and his causes, and now I have another reason not to read the New York Times.

      They think Bono is still timely? And they wonder why their circulation numbers are in the toilet. Why don't they get Manilow to write an advice column too?

      He needs to ditch the glasses. Really Bono, they don't make you look as cool as you have thought for the past hundred years. You were way cooler without them (now a time I can hardly remember.)



    19. 19

      Has anyone seen Perez walking down the streets of Austin.. cause I have…

      He is the last person that we should take fashion advice from…



    20. 20

      You forgot to put "cheater" on the list.



    21. 21

      Cant's stand this glasses day and night .. Does he sleep with that ???



    22. 22

      Good.



    23. 23

      Bono "thinks deeply about his art"? Most artists do.



    24. 24

      Re: Yellow Peeps – No, they think, they think deeply about their art until someone comes around to judge them.



    25. 25

      You'd think that with all the money he has, he'd be able to hire someone to keep the liver spots off his face….



    26. 26

      Don't forget it's SIR Bono!! UGH Hypocritical fugly.



    27. 27

      Re: Spiff – Bono wears sunglasses because he has a retina problem with his eyes. It's not because he's a douche, he wears them to protect his vision from bright lights.



    28. 28

      Re: Sinnocent – puhleeze…he may have retina problems - but he IS a douche. And I used to be one of his biggest fans - even met him several times in the 80's - but I think it's really disgusting what he has become. And his music suffers for it



    29. 29

      I think this guy might be better off IF he worked on the problems in his Own Country (Ireland) first, cause they have plenty to work on?



    30. 30

      Is it just me OR when you look at the picture does he look a lot like George Michael?

      I believe this is a sad day for a declining NYTimes…



    32. 32

      love him, he has a brain too…can't wait to read it



    33. 33

      He's an arrogant, self-important douche.
