Bono in Davos
It has been a busy week for our favourite frontman. After the U23D opening at Sundance in Utah, which is getting rave reviews almost unanimously, Bono dropped in to the Pentagon to talk Africa with US Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Later in the week he appeared in Davos Switzerland with Al Gore at the World Economic Forum. Bono declared that in the aftermath of the good will surrounding Live 8, “The G-8 are not making good on their commitments. This is a scandal”. You can see a video of Bono commenting to journalists about this on You Tube.
Bono has also used the World Economic Forum to launch a new initiative for the Red campaign in conjunction with Dell and Microsoft. You can see a good CNBC interview on the new initiative with Bono, Michael Dell and Bill Gates on You Tube. The new range of Red computers could be one of the first Red products available to Australians- most Dell computers can be ordered online.
