It's About Time...He's done more  to save lives without a college education then all the scientist, road scholars, politician, John Lennon,  Celeberity Protesters, Mensa members, Albert Einstien,  Wars, Peace Activist, Vegans,  ....Adam Smith, John Nash, Mother Teresa, Princes Diana...Etc...

Only Muhammad Ali  & Bill Gates can match what Bono has accomplish in humannity circles that has made a profound difference... All without a college degree....

That's a great question...Adam & Larry get fed up with Bono being way from the band, not the Late Sonny Bono, Sonny & Cher was one of my favorite shows growing up..."The Beat Goes On" great song, anyway..It's tough, Bono is vey Irish & very Guiness...That could be a problem.. I'm more St. Paulie Girl & Coors light...I pay the tab...
That's why I have the Photography gig..Bono is saving the world..
I'm saving the world, one picture at a time.

That would be tough on me, because as you know, other than the song "One" all  or most of the songs were about me and my past relationship...Bono is a funny sort..I'm happy with my new wife, who Bono use to dance with during Mysterious Ways/Love Love You Baby Donna Summer song during Zoo Tour...

I've been listing to alot of "White Stripes" lately, that might upset Bono & Adam...
lol...I could sing two...And still be called U-2..lol

what's a college degree got to do with it? they can't teach whats in bono's heart in any classroom. caring about other people like he does comes from within.

Believe it or not, a portion of society believes you need a college or university or a AA JC college degree to get anywhere in life,


My point is don't let structure or rule or advice from so-called experts(me-included) ever get in the way of what anyone wants to do...Example: Oh I need this in my portfolio: BS. or I need these skills BS... Most of the time  HR or hiring managers, talent agencys, etc.. people don't read resumes or look at someones portfolio, it's personality & projection...when it comes to the job at hand.  For every 5 people hired only 1 or 2 will be hired based on the resume & education & qualification, they do all the work, the other three will just push paper & be on MM forum & myspace & craigslist, dreaming big...instead of waiting for Dress down Thursday & Starbucks Coffee Friday in the lunch room.
thats why in a lot of cases, you will here at "The Water Cooler" why did he or she get the Job and was given a promotion: Personailty & great BS skills... just ask any politician & Rock Star.....That's my point, when the book comes out..MM Forum will be the first to know...
