Coexist
I like Bono. (He’s the frontman for U2, and is known for his humanitarian endeavors, especially regarding Africa.) Sometimes when he’s performing, Bono puts a blindfold on.

You can go to cnn.com or msnbc.com for the story, but basically our Vice President shot a fellow quail hunter, Harry Whittington.
