Bono, frontman of U2, will write 6-10 opinion columns for the New York Times in 2009.  He will write about a bunch of topics, and the details have still not been worked out.  But is the Times the place that Bono belongs?  Sure, why not?  It’s an open forum, and it’s going to be less than once a month on average, so it’s not a big deal.  It’s not like he’s gotten a huge public forum. He will have a busy year, because he will probably go on tour with U2 and the group will be releasing at least one album next year.  So it will be a big year, but at least he wont be bored!
