Last night U2 performed in Nebraska for the first time. According to one fan review, Bono took a moment to apologize for something that he has been criticized about quite frequently over the last few years. During Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own, Bono apologized for his use of foul language in the past. According to Shaun Grantski‘s review on U2tours, Bono told the crowd

I’ve been known to use colorful language in the past…and I’m really working on stopping it. I do not mean to offend anyone; it’s just the way I grew up and the culture we’re in…it’s all around us.

Bono’s “colorful language” caused quite a stir at the Golden Globes when he and the Edge accepted an award for the song The Hands That Built America from the film The Gangs of New York.

Everyone of us deals with different struggles and shortcomings and celebrities are no different. It takes a big man to admit that he isn’t perfect. Good on ya, Bono.
