Bono in Ukraine

BBC:

The Irish rock star and U2 frontman gave a surprise performance at a downtown metro station giving renditions of hits such as Sunday Bloody Sunday, Desire and With or Without You.

It is difficult for me to determine who displays the most enthusiasm in this clip. I found it curious as well that the BBC found it necessary to give an explicit synopsis of what was depicted. This seems increasingly the form „news“ takes: the viewer is fed pablum and then told what they just consumed, how it tasted, and what they should think and remember about it.
