U2 frontman Bono has consulted stock market investor Warren Buffet about
how he could best persuade the "mad" Americans to support LIVE 8.
The legendary money mogul told Bono the US responds to anything which appeals to the nation's superiority complex.
Bono told US magazine TIME, "Warren Buffet gave me the best advice on
this subject. He said, 'Don't appeal to the conscience of America. Appeal to the greatness of America and you'll get the job done.'
"On stage, I talk about my first impression of Americans, which was
watching a man walk on the moon. We thought, 'Americans are mad! But
look what they can do when they get organised.'
