Interview with Bono
When U2 had to cancel their 2006 tour of Australia because, rumour has it, the Edge's daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, Bono granted a TV interview with the enigmatic Andrew Denton on Denton's Parkinson-esque Enough Rope. Denton is a long-time Australian TV personality, producer, and comedian. The title of his show inspires fear and trembling in most interviewees, though it shouldn't as Denton has a sublime way of drawing out the best in people. You could put the worst kind of person on Denton's show and he would likely find a way of drawing out at least some degree of sympathy from the audience. Denton's encounter with Bono is one of the best interviews I've read in a while.

I can often be disappointed with interviews with Bono - a bit flat and one-dimensional or totally dominated by the glass-ed one. this is really cool. good job mr denton, and mr bono too.
solid interview. and the king of the hill clip in your last post was brilliant too. i'd actually be quite interested to hear your thoughts on the american super church thing.
come for a visit to the island soon!
