| | U2 biography: Bono (from @U2) |
 | | Though he is known as a socially-conscious songwriter who has tried to inspire crowds with his lyrics, Bono is a rarity in that he also tries to connect with them physically during a performance. | | | The best example of this was seen by millions during the 1980's...especially the Live Aid concert in 1985, when (mid-way through an epic rendition of "Bad") he leapt off the stage, over a security barricade to the floor of the arena, and pulled a woman from the crowd to dance with her. | | | When he wasn't crusading for the poor, Bono spent the latter part of 1999 composing and performing music for "The Million Dollar Hotel," a new Wim Wenders film starring Mel Gibson, which he wrote with the help of screenwriter Nicholas Klein. |

| | Bono and the band intended the record as a stark declaration for militant pacifism, and against nationalism. | | | In the course of their two-decade-plus career, Bono and the boys have proven that music with a message can still rock the charts. | | | Yet in Bono's eyes, the band was just ahead of its time, voicing the spirit of Live Aid before Bob Geldof had seen its glimmer. |

| | Straight-up love songs are conspicuously absent from the group's first four albums and Bono didn't fully embrace the love song until he incorporated it in the shadowy and complicated Achtung Baby. | | | U2's relentless touring schedule quickly boosted his vocal prowess, however, and by the time of the band's groundbreaking 1983 War release, Bono had developed a soaring tenor. | | | The 1991 release of Achtung Baby represented a complete musical reinvention for U2. |

| | IMAO: Totally True Tidbits About Bono |
| | Bono originally played guitar for U2, but switched to vocals after it was discovered that his voice sounded somewhat less like a cat that's just peed on an electric fence than his guitar playing did. | | | Most people think that Bono's song "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" was about the shooting of Irish civilians in the streets of Derry in 1972, but it was actually based on Bono's response to being mistakenly given a banana split at a British ice cream parlor. | | | Bono has canceled entire shows because his green room was not supplied with an adequate number of frosty Shamrock Shakes. |
