New New York Times Business Plan: Subsidise Bono’s Literary Career
Yes, things are that bad.
A short extract:
“Now I’m back in my own house in Dublin, uncorking some nice wine, ready for the vinegar it can turn to when families and friends overindulge, as I am about to. Right by the hole-in-the-wall cellar, I look up to see a vision in yellow: a painting Frank sent to me after I sang “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” with him on the 1993 “Duets” album. One from his own hand. A mad yellow canvas of violent concentric circles gyrating across a desert plain. Francis Albert Sinatra, painter, modernista.”

In the words of WB Yeats, who Bono so obviously wants to be:
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
