Bono Is Flattered by Rolling Stones

Bono found out that SIR Mick Jagger designed the Rolling Stones' mid-1990s shows after viewing U2's Zoo TV tour. The Irish singer was thrilled that his band's ideas were so appreciated by the rock heroes.

"We invented the B stage, the idea of going into the middle of a stadium or arena, on that tour. That was our idea that they borrowed", Bono said.

The U2 frontman confessed he has learned many things from the Rolling Stones members, so he can't complain about the band pinching some of his ideas, according to Contactmusic.

"The debt is much more in their direction", Bono added.

The Irish singer is well-known as an activist as well. He always prepares for meeting world leaders and has no fear of all those important encounters.

Bono said he never feels intimated meeting presidents and prime ministers - because he always has right on his side.

"I have no fear of politicians... They should be afraid, because they will be held accountable for what happened on their watch. (�) I'm representing the poorest and the most vulnerable people. On a spiritual level, I have that with me", the Irish rocker confessed.

"I'm throwing a punch and the fist belongs to people who can't be in the room, whose rage, whose anger, whose hurt I represent. The moral force is way beyond mine; it's an argument that has much more weight than I have. So I'm not feeling nervous.", Bono added.
