Bono: My Music Will Be Around in 100 Years

(Filed under: Interviews)

U2 frontman and social activist Bono told 60 Minutes that he wants to be remembered for his music more than his activism.

"I think my work--the activism--will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away."

He went on to predict that his music will still be around in 100 years, "explaining that his songs occupy 'an emotional terrain that didn't exist before our group did.'"

Is this rock 'n roll hubris, ego maniac lead singer, exaggeration in hopes of a sound byte--or is [insert favorite U2 song here] that good?
