Bono sigue en New York, después de las 2 semanas junto al resto de grupo para finalizar el nuevo disco de U2.
Anoche estuvo junto a Bill Gates y Warren Buffet en el Second Annual Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy.
Bono fue el encargado de entregar el Lifetime Achievement Award del Forbes 400 Summit a Warren Buffet, uno de los mayores filántropos de la historia (ha decidido ceder el 99% de su fortuna (unos 53 mil millones de dólares). Bono además, se atrevió a cantar "una versión irlandesa del himno del estado de Kansa" conocido como "Home on the Range":
Oh give me a home, where the dividends roam. And the deer graze on Berkshire Hathaway
Where Warren plays bridges, Cherry Cokes in the fridge. And Munger makes wisecracks all day.
Home, home on the range. After Warren gave the whole farm away.
Where the new R.O.I., beneath the Omaha sky, are the lives that he has helped to save.
The calm Cornhusker king, he rejects all of the bling. And he has no time at all for the glitz.
He’s a humble old coot, my shoes cost more than his suit. And Dixieland’s his kind of hits.
Home, home on the range. After Warren gave the whole farm away.
Where the new R.O.I., beneath the Omaha sky, are the lives that he has helped to save.
He seeks no statue of mortar, his name’s written on water. That carries his money to the sea.
No honors, no plaques, just a higher estate tax. Till his wealth is but a rich memory.
But that money-filled stream, that compassionate dream. It swells to a passionate tide.
It bears up all that floats, his tide lifting all boats. It’s an ocean of love, deep and wide.
And there’s Peter. And there’s Susie. And there’s Howie. All hands on deck!
But where’s Warren?
He’s home, home on the range. After giving the whole farm away.
Where nothing is heard, but the sound of Astrid. And Melinda and Old Billy Gates.
