Rev-A-Lay-Shun

Saw Bono last night. He wasn't singing, but talking to a group of wonks and fans about justice and our obligations. There was a bunch of stuff to think about--yet, I found myself thinking a single thought this morning.

Bono was speaking from handwritten notes and lost his place during a riff on potatoes and had to recover and everyone felt closer to him when that happened.

I thought about that and then I thought, this guy is a major rock star. He does these HUGE shows with pyro-technics, new medleys of big hits, choirs, orchestras, new arrangements. Like he doesn't rehearse?

Cynicism doesn't kill the message--of which there is much remaining to think about. But cynicism sure can derail the thinkings about the real important thoughts.
