BONO on the Red Manifesto...

Sometimes when I’m walking down the street a passer by will say “love your work on Africa Bono, great cause.” Sometimes, they wish they hadn’t. I’m Irish, I love to talk to strangers. I love to talk about Africa. It can be hard to get away ... Each time it makes me think we need to do much more to get the message across that this is not a ‘cause,’ this pandemic that we and so many others are working on. 5,500 Africans dying a day of AIDS, a preventable, treatable disease is not a cause. 5,500 Africans dying each day is an emergency.

Martin Scorsese has publicly stated he did not watch the original “Infernal Affairs“, (available on DVD here) before making “The Departed” and it didn’t seem like he was in a hurry to watch it any time soon. Many people viewed this as a slight on the originals.
