I think you would find a lot of wealthy people donate but don't tell anyone, but I don't think it should be anyone's business to tell you what you have to do with your money....I mean some people find it hard getting by as it is, so just because they don't donate it doesn't make them uncharitable as such. Yeah, but we're talking about a guy who complains about the profligacy with which society lives. How wasteful we are and how people are starving but he's so opulent he's purchased his own jet plane, because y'know, feeding the poor with that $100m is totally not worth it.

I agree its up to the individual. But if you talk up the charity theme then you should back it up with action.

Whether that was him, or if he was just the convenient face of the charity, but not a good look. Bill Gates on the other hand has donated tons of money to charity, so his is working quite well.

Aljay wrote:Condemned666 wrote:An interesting thought
The Rolling Stones music has dated far better than U2's music
Case in Point: U2's 360 DVD, U2 looked old and tired, the band themselves looked like the dads of "Bono and the boys" trying to sing karaoke versions of their old songs, which is proof U2's music has always leaned towards a younger more energetic audience, whereas the Stones have always had a timeless quality about their music? 60's music requires less energy and less emotion, making it easier to play in your old age. Either that or the Stones have been geriatric for so long that everyone forgets what they were originally like. Noone listens to the Stones except those who got into them in the 60s & 70s. U2 have fans from 3 decades, not 2 and are migh still not be done yet. Edited by Aljay: 4/6/2014 09:19:10 PM Wouldnt agree with that, I only really discovered the Stones in the late '80s and still listen to them, whereas U2 came and went for me without much impact. Each to their own.

U2's music is the equivalent of Mcdonalds and Coca Cola, which is easily appealing to a lot of people who are clueless about music
However, unlike that Mcdonalds' Quarter Pounder with Cheese that was left in a jacket pocket for years and that had not decomposed, U2 themselves are not immune from age and degradation, U2 relied too much on Bono's powerful voice to back up Edge's Guitar, and Bono cant hit a note anymore!

Beggars Banquet is one of my favourite albums. And given that the Stones have released an album in every decade since the 60's I think you're well off the mark there. And even if you were close to being right (which you aren't) Bono is a massive fucking cockhead so you're still wrong. :lol: This, Though I wouldn't bother with a Stones record after 1974. they had a few god songs but overall nothing Compares to the Stones with Brian Jones. +1 Bono being a massive cock head +10000000000000000000000000000000
