Instructing people, many of whom just lost half their yearly income (if not their jobs) about giving during hard times, and at once telling them about what a rich jet-set rockstar he is.
clipped from www.boston.com You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it. These lyrics to a song by Irish rock band U2 might best describe the mood at the Mortgage Bankers Association's big annual conference. The glum mood was broken somewhat by U2 singer Bono, the featured speaker at the association's gathering. "It was just so inspirational," she said, as co-worker Sal Mazzocca, seated next to her, sang a few bars of the U2 hit "Running to Stand Still." Bono charmed the bankers and lenders with stories about his "bad boy" days as a rocker. Bono - said to be just 5 feet 6 inches tall - wore platform shoes on the podium. He also appealed to the audience's collective conscience when he urged them to do humanitarian work or give to charities, even during tough times. [and now - the punchline....] Bono, who told the audience he flew in to Boston on a private jet, was whisked away after his talk. |
