"…the culture of idealism is under siege, beset by materialism and narcissism and all the other isms of indifference and their defense mechanism knowingness, the smirk, the joke…Rock music to me is rebel music. But rebelling against what? In the Fifties it was sexual mores and double standards. In the Sixties it was the Vietnam War and racial and social inequality. What are we rebelling against now? If I am honest I'm rebelling against my own indifference. I am rebelling against the idea that the world is the way the world is and there's not a damned thing I can do about it. So I'm trying to do some damned thing." - Bono, Address to Harvard University Graduating Class, 11 June 2001
