CODE RED

Anyone that knows me will, I'm sure, be surprised by the lack of U2/ Bono on this blog so far.
I'm sure it'll come, it's just that once I start I can't stop. The influence of U2 on my life since I was 14 has probably been greater than even I realise...
anyway....
just to say that you should buy today's (tuesday 16th) Independent newspaper. It is edited by Bono in order to bring the HIV/AIDS epidemic to the front pages and to the attention of the general public. It is also highlighting the CODE RED initiative which hopes to bring social action to the high street.


6,500 Africans died today as a result of AIDS.

More than 15 million people in Africa have died of AIDS....This is more than the Rwandan genocide, Khmer rouge regime, the Iraq War, and the Holocaust of WW2 all combined.
