Bono baptism: New book creates convert, fosters respect | TheNewsTribune.com | Tacoma, WA: "All that has changed now. I am a Bono convert. Seriously. I respect his humanitarianism. I accept his preening and self-righteousness. I even can overlook the too-cool shades.
Credit – or blame? – should go to a new book I picked up the other day, “Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas” ($23.95, Riverhead Books). I almost didn’t make it past the cover jacket, which shows a close-up of Bono in one of those savior-like poses, fist raised in righteousness, visage a study in sacredness."
Looks like the U2 fandom goes 2 ways, old fans (see below) stop liking them, and those who've resisted now like U2.
