Bonoed

  • Posted by: Morgan Clendaniel
  • on January 10, 2007 at 11:20 am

“At a U2 concert in Dublin, Bono asks the audience for some quiet.  Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone: ‘Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.’  A voice from the crowd pierces the silence:  ‘[Expletive] stop doing it then!’”

A joke? A true story? You be the judge.
