Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.

At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet.

Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, 'Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.'

From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet ...

'Well, f -- ckin stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!'

Low jab

It probably applies better to Hillary.
Does make me think carefully about what to say on a stage surrounded by thousands of very open minds, though. Meticulously chosen words have less wind resistance.

Props to Bono for his

Props to Bono for his conviction, and the situation in Africa is very sad and true, but you have to admit - this was brilliant, haha.
