In the Name of Love

By Avishay Artsy on Monday, March 31, 2008.

When we think about U2 frontman Bono, this graph pretty much sums up how we feel about the aging Irish rocker's career path:

Our friends at Very Short List feel similarly. Yet they were taken by a new compilation, "In the Name of Love: Africa Celebrates U2," in which the old ballads are re-imagined by artists who understand them, and deliver their messages of hope and love with renewed urgency. And since proceeds from the album go to global charities, we see no harm in recommending it as well.
