This man is no longer writing songs of social commentary, like Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride (In the Name of Love), Silver and Gold, or Bullet in Blue Sky. He has completely sold out by writing catchy, crappy pop-rock with no meaning at all, let alone a political message. I wonder how much of his salary he donates to his cause. We'd be better off giving this award to Zach De La Rocha of the late Rage Against the Machine.
Sure he's met with plenty of world leaders and spoke at plenty of conferences, but I'm skeptical of what he's really accomplished. I have a feeling that most presidents don't really respect people who wear sunglasses indoors.
