the president of the usa and the prime minister of great britain held a press conference in washington today. in part it was about the forthcoming g8 meeting, in part it was about africa, it was about iraq and the war on terror. mainly i think it was about two allies just hanging out with each other while the rest of the world looked on.
after both had given speeches and both had thanked the other, there was a short q&a session.
andrew marr of the bbc chirped up and asked about africa, live8 and rock stars asking if it was just people like geldof et al mouthing rhetoric and nothing more.
president bush stepped in to partly answer the question.
he commented on how he had met bono and that how bono was a man of depth.
well there you go. high praise indeed mr bono. i am sure bono is all made up about that.

Here's what Liam Gallagher has to say on the subject of Bono Vox and U2:
“Wankers. Haven’t they got fuck-all better to do? I’d rather be out there getting pissed. I certainly wouldn’t go back after a gig and analyse it. No wonder they’re the biggest band in the world: ‘Oh Edge, the fourth guitar solo wasn’t right tonight’. ‘Oh sorry, Bono’. If that’s what people think rock’n’roll is…”
sometimes you just have to say "liam you are a star!"
i will always have a soft spot for liam.
wonderwall is just such a great love song. i have no idea what it means, i have no use for it, but it is just such a great song.
other than that he does occassionally hit the mark with his comments on the rest of the world.
