This guy is like a saint! He's so obsessed with getting the poor and downtrodden of this world out of the mess they're in. He's trying to get countries to forgive debt between them. He sang "Ave Maria", with his own lyrics, with Pavarotti, asking The Blessed Virgin Mary why the world is so bad off. Pavarotti, who is known to sing that beautiful song at his concerts, was visibly moved by Bono's lyrics. Pavarotti sang the traditional lyrics in Italianized Latin, and then Bono repeated his made-up lyrics. The crowd was cheering, and after the song, Bono and Pavarotti embraced.
It was a very beautiful gesture, to promote goodwill throughout the world. More celebs should do the same!

Yes he is a great man, but I need to answer your question with a question, if everyone were like him, would he be so great?

I think that you would be surprised on how many good people or "saints" there are in this world-people who work with the elderly everyday while there kids just live blocks away,people who volunteer to work with cancer patients or terminal ill people that there lives are very short but yet these people spent time with these sick people when they are getting ready to die to keep a smile on their faces,the people that work with the homless or aids, children's hospitals and that doesn't even go into he animal shelters where the animals are abused by these people(I volunteer at our local animal shelter I just saw a 8month old boxer puppy so skinny and beat up because his owner was getting a divorce from his wife and he was so mad he took it out on the puppy) and all of these volunteers have to put up with all this sadness day in and day out, how do they do it? You need to look closer because we have saints all around us !

He is certainly making the best of his celebrity status by helping others and setting good examples. Some people think he's overdone it by now, and they might have a point, but regardless, what he has done/is doing is the great stuff of life.
