A Plea to U2 from Africa's Children
Stop Bono Before He Kills Again!
by CounterPunch News Service

Bono is at a U2 concert in Glasgow when he 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 softly and seriously into the microphone …

"Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies……"

A voice from near the front pierces the silence: "Well, fucken’ stop doin’ it then!"
