Bono's First NYTimes Op-Ed The first of Bono's six Op-Ed donations to the NY Times (he's doing it free of charge) ran yesterday, using his relationship with Frank Sinatra and the Chairman's "My Way" as a platform to discuss the economy, jazz, and the hard earned wisdom in getting old. As usual Bono's dish is better heard than read, so thankfully you can listen to him recite it along with the transcription over at the Times.

It's kind of annoying when you click on a link that says "Bono's First NYTimes Op-Ed" and it doesn't take you to Bono's First NYTimes Op-Ed.

Yeah, that used to confuse me too. Gotta read the whole text to find the link.

This article is just as annoying as I thought it would be.
