Why I think Bono is kewl

Oprah today got me verklempt. Not only was it all filmed in and around Chicago, it was filmed in and around my exact precise neighborhood - within my square mile. Then again, that square mile also belongs to O anyway.. But Bono's got another big idea and I frankly like it. I want a pair of the Armani sunglasses personally.

Yea, so Bono is an (old) arse. But I got to give him credit, he somehow makes things happen.

Take a minute. Look at a picture. Read a website. Go shopping. Take the time to read some beautiful lyrics. It doesn't take a lot of effort. At least check out what you might be missing.



The Gap t-shirts are cool, affordable and hey, why not?

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth

Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

And it's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No who's or why's
No one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the color in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth

They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann, and Breda
Their lives are bigger, than any big idea

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus in the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth
This peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
