There are so many more musicians/ famous people who have done a great deal for the underprivileged but they don't make a huge thing out of it; they do it because they generally care. Bono is also one of the biggest hyporcites in the media I have ever come across. One example I can think of is the fact that he moved U2's publishing company from Ireland to the Netherlands to avoid tax, shortly after claiming that Irish taxes should be increased so that more of it could be donated to charity. If he does generally care about what he says he cares about then he certainly isn't portraying that attitude.
