I'm not mocking Make Poverty History, by the way. It's a worthy aim, that. I'm just bored of talking about Bono mouthing off about shit like this, especially when he could probably make poverty perfectly historical for more than just a few people with one week's interest from his savings account.
Anyway, this is the news that he's appeared unexpectedly at a Make Poverty History concert being held in Melbourne and timed to coincide with a G20 meeting in the city over the weekend. The singer, joined by bandmate The Edge, teamed up with Pearl Jam for a performance of Neil Young's 'Rockin' In The Free World'. The Irish singer told the crowd: "Politicians all have to do what you tell them to do, scream it from the mountains".
