“Celebrities supply all the brand awareness and emotion. Then the NGOs and aid agencies supply the cover. And of course, intelligence and political power players supply all the direction. And the public is left believing it all happened out of kindness and love, not a sketchy, sinister strategy.”
(Revolver) We’ve been told over and over that celebrity “humanitarianism” is the purest form of goodness on the planet. Big stars, concerts, movies, emotions, giving back, bla bla bla. The message is always the same: open your heart, open your wallet, and don’t ask too many questions, because celebrities would never steer you wrong.
But every once in a while, someone comes along and does ask questions. And when they do, many uncomfortable dots start showing up.
And that’s exactly what’s happening with Bono, the frontman of U2. But beyond his lead vocals, Bono has very carefully cultivated an image as a global humanitarian icon. Nobody asked questions, because Bono had everybody convinced he was an angel, doing the purest work. However, there’s a lot more to it, according to Mike Benz.
