Catch a ten minute video segment of Bono's appearance on Oprah last week.
Watch the clip hereHere are some highlights from the video clip:
'Bill Gates is somebody we're involved with, and he's got the deepest
pockets of anyone. But his pockets aren't deep enough to fix this. This is a
political problem. The good news is that if it's a political problem, it
belongs to the people.'
'Oprah: How has this passion fueled your work on stage?
Bono: I was very humbled to find out that the less time I spent in the
studio, the better the music seemed to get! The band is really supportive of
my work. They just wish the people I was hanging out with weren't so
un-hip!'
'The people who drove it home [in England], as much as the students and
activists were a part of it, were mothers. That has been really powerful
[the support from] mothers and women's groups. They're not scared of me, but
when women start getting organized, they [politicians] get scared.'
