Is it the self-righteousness of this man that makes most of you hate U2's music? I mean, "New Year's Day", "The Unforgettable Fire", "Where the Streets Have No Name" ... these are all great songs. You don't agree? And I say this not being a fan as I already mentioned, so don't give me **** as a fanboy.

In early 2010, Bono penned a New York Times editorial in which he explicitly called on Western nations to produce Chinese-style national firewalls to protect fledgling artists’ incomes. He wrote, “But we know from America’s noble effort to stop child pornography, not to mention China’s ignoble effort to suppress online dissent, that it’s perfectly possible to track content online."

F*uck you, Bono.
