Thanks to Facebook's IPO, we're all happy ... well some of us anyway. This is especially true for Bono, remember the lead singer for U2 (the Irish band that's no Thin Lizzy). Well anyways, according to NME, Bono=Billionaire. That's right! As of today, May 18, 2012 Bono is now the wealthiest musician on the planet! Aren't all of you glad that you took those voice lessons because now you, too, shall become this wealthy!?
As you can tell by my tone, I find all of this utterly absurd, and I would not be surprised that in the months ahead, all of this newfound wealth will disappear just as the housing market and any of a number of other Internet IPO 's had. To think that a company can be worth 100B+ based on advertising, friendship and privacy invasion is nothing short of a joke.
As a musician, " FB done little for Me". Hey, maybe I should turn this into a song. It's true, ya know, and I suspect it's true for many of you as well. If I want friends to come to a gig, I simply ask because FB sure as @#*!%! doesn't work.
Anyways, Mr. Bono I congratulate you on a decision well made! You are obviously a man on par with many of Hollywood's elite and now have proven that you possess the business acumen to place you amongst the best of the best on Wall Street. I just ask that you remember the many, many little guys who helped make all of this happen for you and spread the wealth around before it disappears.
