Singer and activist Bono was feeling the heat in frigid Davos, Switzerland. In town for the World Economic Forum, Bono found sharing the stage with ex-vice president Al Gore to be a humbling experience.  Bono was there to speak on the problem of world poverty, but Gore’s presence on the panel caused him to focus on his own oil addiction. The Irish icon said that being around environmental guru was akin to spending time with a priest:

“He's been round my house and it's like... here's the recycler Al, you know... I've got a posh car, but it runs on ethanol Al. It's like being with an Irish priest. You start to confess your sins. Father Al, I am not just a noise polluter, I am a noise-polluting, diesel-soaking, Gulfstream-flying rock star.”

Bono did add that there was hope for even the worst environmental sinner:

"I'm going to kick the habit. I'm trying father Al, but oil has been very good for me -- those convoys of articulated lorries, petrochemical products, hair gel."

This seems like a positive trend for Bono. I wonder what world leader could persuade him to apologize for the Zoo TV tour and Rattle and Hum? [Breitbart]
