Through the 80's I was not a fan of U2 in fact I knew very little of U2. However in recent years I have become a fan because I heard Bono speak when he is not behind the rock star microphone. I believe he is a man of deep conviction and not only speaks well of the problems he wants to fix, he actually gets in and tries to help implement the solution. Also, I believe he has been an inspiration to many young people through his speeches at various colleges. He is also a role model, I believe he lives his life as he speaks of his life, for a rock star to be married to the same woman for over 30 years is a testament in and of itself. Lastly, as I listen to Bono speak he has actually started me on a renaissance of my own belief in America and the future. God Bless you, Bono.
I
He’s an inspiration to all of us. Of all ages. We just need to listen and react respond care feel act
A worldly dude
Very well said!
Bono loves America. Bono loves Idealism, Bono has a heart and a commitment to others. To not love Bono is to not love!
Some people see bono as a god of sorts.
Wow, that's embarrassing
He is very intelligent.... Great speaker and well informed person. The best commencement speech I had ever heard!
Bono has just proved that he is a rock star at commencement speeches as well. Great job. Good man.
Is he picking up new fans so that the group's music does not fade?
I think Bono is wonderful person I love him and the music group U2
I love Bono. He's so smart. I really hope I get to meet him someday just to be able to talk to him.
No higher aspirations?
carly3592 I’m with you!
@@dianavance1137 Higher aspirations than you, boring soccer mom, doing your boring 9-5 job, no less.
Hello Carly,
How're you doing,
it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness,
All love to you and yours ❤️
I love U2, Bono is my favorite!!
I love Bono, such a great speech. Beautiful Day!
Our lecturer likes BoNo each and every Time we attend a class we watch this now we know it by heart ❤️
beautiful.. I love this.. I love you Bono
Holy Bonobo.....You're truly blessed. Thank YOU....
An amazing human being
My old man's commencement speaker at Penn 1940 Wharton was FDR.
One for the ages. Thanks dude. 😎
Amazing how a Rock Star, Humanitarian, Activist, and a Family man to also obtain a Doctrine @ Law. #awesomeness
Like bill gates did?
Doctorate
It’s a joke of one
@Razor Mouth☘️ more substantial than a fake degree 🤷🏼♂️
From Brazil ....congratulations Bono.....👏👏👏👏👏👏
Go^%#*m it. When I graduated from Penn we got Tom Brokaw as a commencement speaker. I feel ripped off :D Love you Bono!
AMEN! Bono you are quite simply....The Best!
Also amazing on how certain people only post on disparaging comments against him and U2 as a whole as being tax evaders when they've accomplished extraordinary changes in Africa towards improving Extreme Poverty and the healing people. C'mon , Cyrus get things right !!
Checks and balances
This guy can wax poetic with the best of them. Liquid words he has.
But he's on the wrong side of the fence
Hope is a word that means hope. Human being can be great and other things it is not worth to talk about now. Thanks Bono for your soul, your wide view of this world, your fighting spirit.
It’s like a stand up routine!! He’s so funny 😆💕
I saw u2 in concert at this college in 1997. This speech was probably in that same stadium.
Bono,:,,"I'm in love with this country, i love America".
To the tune of gainsaying?
@@dianavance1137Who is this Diana Vance? A NOBODY, that's who. NOBODY cares about you or your opinion. NOBODY knows or wants to know losers like you.
TOTAL AMAZING!!
It takes humility on his part for those things to happen. Ego destroys relationships. And besides all of that, there's his humanitarian work, which, regardless of whether you agree with the means Bono sees as solutions, you can't honestly discount as him just trying to look good in front of people. Listen to him talk about this stuff. You can tell just by him speaking about it that he has spent a LOT of time learning about all of this stuff and therefore obviously cares about it truly.
Well great done Bono Love u like always
@Swissbanker77 ... honestly we envy people like Bono who knows how to entertain people, who has a great sense on how to live his life well not only for himself but for the rest of other pipol, he has a great mind also better than most politicians we know...
You know, it's always hilarious to me how people always point out Bono's ego. In his performance and interviews an air of egotism does indeed leak through, but honestly, I don't think it's really fair to rag on Bono about the size of his ego. I doubt there's really a more humble rock star of his caliber. He is the first to make fun of himself and point out the absurdity of his celebrity. How do you think his band has stayed together for 30 years? How do you think his marriage has stayed intact?
On which planet do you live?
@@dianavance1137 you’re insane
@@dianavance1137 A far more interesting planet than YOU.
Agreed
Thank You BONO!
This is a fantastic speech. Why does everyone hate him so much?
Haters hate CHRIST
Ignorance and jealousy.
He is awesome.
YOU ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL BONO GREAT SPEECH
Everyone is hating on Bono, it's your opinion which is fine. But why are you guys here? It just seems like a huge waste of time to be investing time in something you hate. Go do something you find worthwhile, you'll enjoy it so much more than finding things wrong with this. As well as if people can receive something positive from this then don't criticize them for it. I thought it was a pretty good and interesting speech. That's just me.
Bono appears like a mix of Robin Williams and Sean Penn, both in looks and sense of humor. Outstanding speech nonetheless.
Abhishek: And John Wayne.
Thousands of Rock Stars only care about drink, drugs and sex.
Bono is an intelligent man who gracefully allows the narrow minded to call him a hypocrite.
What I admire is - he still gets out there and does what he does. He cares.
I'd rather I man with a platform who tries to solve problems, than a man who puts your misguided judgements first.
Have you never done something contradictory in your life. At least Bono's contradictions have positive results.
Bono 4 ever!
Gotta give him that much
So cool to have Bono as your commencement speaker. My college graduation had Bob Dole's wife 🙄
😂😂 don't know who she is but your comment made me laugh. Thank you 😂
@@tanyaoellermann LOL - it was Elizabeth Dole...she was the head of the American Red Cross at the time.
Bravo Bono! well done!
I love Bono
Bono is Irish, He was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland
There is hope for him yet?
@@dianavance1137 what do you mean?
Beautiful Ireland.
Both U.S Presidents Bush & Clinton is very CORRECT when they say " BONO is the most intelligent ROCKER I had ever MEET"....
Bono speaks well.but Bob Geldoff was the instigator of all this .the brains behind the outfit so to speak. And even more articulate than Bono.
How many did they meet?
Beloved. To fully understand, see, feel and know the suffering of others and then become the change that is needed and required by moral and ethical laws.
Hello Teresa Seller,
How're you doing,
it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness,
All love to you and yours ❤️
bono the best
Bono stands good.
he's hilarious
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEEAAHHH
Haters gonna hate. They have no lives and no respect for anyone. Just don't let them get to you.
Haters hate CHRIST
7:10 one of many examples of Bono being aware of what his detractors say of him
one intelligent man
Didn't listen to this video but read the comments.
nice speech.
LOVE is a four letter word too
..and boy did they disappoint. That generation.
well class year what? from--Amy St. Ei'os (correction)
so many sunglasses
Though I don't always agree with Bono politically, he really is inspiring and probably smarter than those professors. hahahaha love what he says about comparing Kermit the Frog to a sock.
btw Bono, I loved your mullet :-P
"A"- type personality for sure
Loved his mullet too lol
agreed!
'Here come da brits' bahahahah
U said about Bono: "Why does everyone hate him...?" Who is "everyone" supposedly? Excuse me, but those are just internet trolls. Bono is loved by HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. Internet trolls just don't like that he's loved by so many people, so they have to jabber on the sidelines. Once they've jabbered on this video they'll find another vid of someone else to try to put down. Maybe they're from competitor music-bands? Who cares. Unlike Bono, millions of people don't PAY to hear the trolls.
People have the right to dislike someone else. Most people hate CHRIST. I can give Scripture about this.
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
My dog name is Bono!
Bono is a strange name? Glad it's not a pilfer from the Holy Bible.
@@dianavance1137 Short for Bono Vox, latin for 'good voice'. Although I wouldn't expect an ignorant braindead loser like you to understand that.
he is irish.
What year did he speak here? 2004. Why was he guest speaker?
How about being the first generation that says "no" to over-population?
Bullshit myth
Bono is talking about hypocrisy in the world like all the worthless negative comments here
Good
Shoot, I guess you're right, who can argue with that logic?
MEANWHILE ALL THE LAW OVER Over over ovr
Lookitup my friend.
The more I listen to this ego the more I think its time for a Spinal Tap Part 2.
You're a jealous loser aren't you?
Only intelligent people know how great this man is. I have been a fan of u2 and Bono since 1984. Now people slag him off all the time. These people are like 90% of people in this world IGNORANT AND SELFISH. I got tired of defending Bono sometime around 2015. You can't educate stupid. He will always be my musical hero, possibly the only person in this world I totally respect. I have a Masters Degree, from a great British University - so I understand and critique everything he says. These ignorants cite his tax avoidance, etc, when he is probably the one Irish person who has paid more tax than anybody else - EVER. U2 were Ireland's biggest export for 20 years, outselling even Guinness, yet idiotic indigenous Irish cite him as an hypocrite, just because he is wealthy and successful. The reason being....most Irish are IGNORANT and SELFISH. The guy lost his mother at a young age (like myself.) He could have curled up in a ball and given up. No, he is probably the most successful human being of the last 50 years. Dis-respect this man and you're just dis-respecting yourself.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. They are spot on. His new book “Surrender “ substantiates his calling of making a difference in this world.
Something like 98% of U2's business is done OUTSIDE of Ireland because they are a band that travels the PLANET. GET A CLUE.
Globalists?
Bono is not dead
Who said he was?
checking something
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH !
I love the double standards we have for people who make an effort to be good. Here he is contributing his finance, time, and effort to help fix an actual problem. But he is too preachy when he does it. And he tries to protect his money by putting it in an untouchable bank account... No different than a 401k. I guess he figures the money going to charity instead of bureaucracy is a good thing. The nerve!
But Kobe Bryant donates $1 to the make a wish foundation, PBS does a documentary on him...
..as ive said before... people who are having pitiful life usually deliver stupid comments... what a pity for you guys!...get a life... do something for yourselves...
laws were made to be kept
Hello Josie Perez,
How're you doing,
it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness,
All love to you and yours ❤️
YEAH , HE IS IRISH
I will always see bono in the dug inn bar in bray singing his brains out and we had a bump and i pushed the mic stand didnt fall and he kicked me in tha arse not hard and then I spat at him didnt get him ,Back when u2 were just a dublin band ,Now that they are who they are I really regret that night I absolutely love u2 >>>>>>>>>>>Sorry Bono
...and he's funny too.
Bono worked out early on that to break America as a band you have to tell Americans you love them and their country over and over and prance about in a cowboy hat and boots. It worked out well for him $$$$$$
Sense when does he have brown hair
He has browm hair naturally, he dyed it black in the early 90s
Why are the asians separated from the other races?
Well you know!
They aren't, they are sat alphabetically.
Future generations will wince at our tolerance for abortion. "...every human life has equal worth..," followed by a smattering of applause.
he doesnt sound that irish or british or scottish or wherever he was from
He is Irish
you know he's irish, but he sounds COMPLETELY american...can't even hear his irish accent.
I can hear an Irish accent?
I love Bono but he tries to give the impression that he is a bad boy. Has he broken the law, no! Has he done anything remotely criminal no! He likes to think he's bad but he is the opposite of it.
Combat the ISIS empovirished wid humor, and love
Where is the great "BONO" now !!
A teacher in Ireland was jailed this week for violating a court order forbidding him from going to the school where he works, over his refusal to use a student's new name and gender-neutral pronouns, along with other school staff, was asked to use the pronoun "they" to refer to the student, Burke said that it went against his Christian beliefs.
Laws of the LORD?
🙋🙋🙋🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🙋🙋🇲🇽🇲🇽🙋
Is his hair dye courtesy of Monsanto?
Who's Dick Hertz? Oh that's why I haven't heard of him, because he is a nomark LOSER.
Yeah, because all tax money goes to the poor and you can't give to the poor in any other way than through taxes, right? I'm not going to deny this guy lives a life of luxury, but neither you nor I know how much he's ACTUALLY given to the poor...my gut feeling though is that it's both a larger total amount and a larger percentage of total income than you or I will ever give.
Poor, rich, rich, poor, blah blah blah
bono isn't courageos enough for that:

STOP KONY!
I have an idea: why don't YOU pick every single major problem on planet Earth & "raise some awareness" about the thousand different problems? Of course not. Hypocritical of you to insist someone do what no one with a brain would insist anyone do. You're ridiculous. Do just 1 half of 1 percent of what Bono does & then it still wouldn't make it ok for you to attack someone JUST BECAUSE they're doing good about 3 or 4 major issues when I'm sure you're not doing good on any issues. Tell me u are.
I would be quite gifted to know that Bono's market makers? are fan gatherers.
What has happened to this man, his soul has been taken from him 2019 he has become such a hated man for he has signed on that dotted line relinquishing his soul to Mephistopheles! Such a loss much to be missed, infinite sadness.
can one really refer to oneself as a `rock star', and if so... why would you?
He IS a rock star and he was being pedantic. You are a boring loser soccer mom with a shit life and thick as fuck.
@merocket. You are the reason why I am pro abortion.
Yikes
money has nothing to do with the natural self reliance of a life living wihtin and upon their natural homeland births... {referring to continent young boy as gift to you form a father..} how one lives and continues is based upon food and livng with Nature... not reading writing foreign languages and unnatural foreign ways making focus upon perform and serve for the outhers payment to compete compare and accept through way inferior matreials objects and form of isolated living for a kingdoms common arbitrary state craft support.... can the irsih even live in harmony... i am on the wales chore line awaiting the ferry to Ireland as Belfast bommbing news ...the mere influence of media plants a seed of doubt and fear to go and see for my self what is the real situation ? who stirs it up... ireland not united... youth departed... time and space the ways and customs of familitarty and within the Way of the Lord maker creator and ancient ways.... unqualified occupying the historic foundry's of church... the political norms wihtin a queendom of another kingdoms island expansing itself claiming authority upon vast earth lands of native people that are still living and survived the bullish strength of the non alphas Irish, Scots english scandians germans etc... so how to use your pulpit the lord secured for the true way He needs is what i hope you reflect in the presence... will this reach Bono directly? ruclips.net/video/fWpfTtZae_s/видео.html
