Ex-Talking Head’s singer, David Byrne, apparently thinks that Bono is a hypocrite for parading around the world on his high horse and lecturing us lesser humans on giving money to charity and taking care of the environment. Geez, David, what a dick thing to say. Why on earth would you ever say that about one of the greatest humanitarians of our time? Oh, wait…

The singer/songwriter complains the band’s ongoing 360 global trek has cost millions to stage – money which would have been better spent helping Bono’s various charity campaigns. [ZING!! – Ed.]

Byrne also targets Bono’s environmental concerns, insisting there is nothing planet-friendly about the hundreds of trucks needed to transport U2’s massive set across the world. [Oh Burn!! – Ed.]

In a post on his website, he writes, “Those stadium shows may possibly be the most extravagant and expensive (production-wise) ever: $40 million to build the stage and, having done the math, we estimate 200 semi trucks crisscrossing Europe for the duration. [SKA-DOOSH!! – Ed.]

“It could be professional envy speaking here, but it sure looks like, well, overkill, and just a wee bit out of balance given all the starving people in Africa and all.” [Consider yourself served, Bono. – Ed.]

In response, Bono informed David that “[Bono] is rubber and [David] is glue and whatever he says bounces off of me and sticks to you” before turning to Bishop Desmond Tutu and requesting a “high five.”
