In case you missed it, a couple of weekends ago there appeared the latest NY Times op-ed from Bono:

Credit where it's due: this one is fairly readable and interesting. However, the Napoleon of Killiney is always good for one cringe-inducing moment, and this article has a cracker: "In Ireland, at the height of the “Troubles,” it was said that the only solution for rabid sectarianism was to let 1,000 punk-rock bands bloom..."  Of course.
