The Wonderful World of Bono — Rockall
Shameful exploitation
by Bono
Well done, you found Rockall, the world's liveliest volcanic outcrop.
It has come to my attention that several world powers are vying for control of Rockall and the oil-rich undersea plateau which surrounds it. This is yet another sickening example of global business interests callously disregarding the human cost of progress.
Accordingly, myself and fellow eco-warrior Sting have decided to record a duet in order to raise funds to fight this shameful exploitation. Rockall, Bloody Rockall will features guest artists Elton John, Gareth Gates and Maria Carey. No less than 3p from every CD sold, minus VAT and administrative costs, will go straight to the cause.
