PRINCE and BONO

Apart from that time in Ireland where they met/spoke and sang, had they EVER chatted before then, or since?

"i believe in prince almost as much as prince believes in prince"

"prince has more soul in his little finger then most others"

I'm sure they had some conversation at the NAACP awards ceremony 2007, where Bono gave that very moving speech. I like Bono, he stands for something.

i saw them chatting backstage at the one night alone show in ireland - i was front row as an npgmc member and could see the backstage area. after the main show bono was at spirit nightclub for the aftershow so i assume they would have met before and after the aftershow.

Prince is Dreamy, gives my Life that Pop and 2 the industry, he’s Royalty.

We have a winner!

But what's with that emoticon? Is it meant as an... I dunno, insult?

I'm not too crazy about my last name either
...but I just find it very boring.

I love the Prince interview quote in which he states something to the effect of, "I can do what they do, i've played Lacrosse, but let them do Housequake."

The comment was a reaction to Joshua Tree winning the grammy over SOTT and Bono's pretentious speech in which he gives P a backhanded compliment, "Prince is more than a brilliant song-and-dance man."

I've always thought that musically, U2 was overrated. And that their musical documentary in which they are walking through Harlem is laughable in it's pomposity as they attempt to claim blues and R&B history.

prince is a pretentious arse in a charming, quirky, "oh, that prince! what will he think of next?" kind of way

bono is a pretentious arse in a cloying, infuriating "IF YOU DONT SHUT THE FUCK UP IM GOING TO ASSAULT YOU WITH A TIRE IRON" kind of way. (admittedly prince has approached being this on several occasions in the past)

Wow, cool thread.

Well, as a Prince fan since the Reagan presidency, and not owning more than one U2 album, I'll have to say this:

Bono, on his best day, couldn't do HALF the things Prince can.

But in terms of how to treat fans and how to use music to try to change the world? Bono is head and shoulders above almost all other pop stars.

Prince's contributions to non-Prince projects? Who knows? He doesn't really publicize anything he does or doesn't do.

Bono, as an advocate for AIDS research and even more importantly against poverty and third world debt... amazing.

Musicianship ---> Prince all the way.

World Citizenship ---> Bono. By far. Bono.

Some people tell me I've got great legs...

bono is as short as prince but fatter and uglier
