	Bono - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bono lives south of Dublin with his family and shares a villa in Èze in the Alpes-Maritimes in the South of France with The Edge, as well as an apartment in The Dakota, the same apartment building in which John Lennon lived in Manhattan.
		Bono is on the board of the Elevation Partners private equity firm which attempted to purchase Eidos Interactive in 2005 and has since gone on to invest in other entertainment businesses.
		Bono said "this is really, really, fucking brilliant" during the 2003 Golden Globe Awards, which was originally ruled neither indecent nor obscene by the FCC (see [11]), who later reversed the decision and found the sentence to be both indecent and profane (see [12]).

	U2 biography: Bono (from @U2)
		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.
		Beyond U2, Bono has extended himself to other projects and causes, and has emerged over the years to be both a social animal and an activist...and has rallied numerous actors, artists and activists to his cause...most recently, his bid to end Third World Debt as spokesman for the Jubilee 2000 project and Netaid.
		Bono was recently presented with the Free Your Mind Award at the MTV Europe Awards held in Dublin, Ireland, in acknowledgement for his work on behalf of the Jubilee 2000 project to end Third World Debt.

	Copyright Term Extension Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The act was named after the late Congressman Sonny Bono (who was killed in a ski accident more than nine months before the act became law), who had favored this position as a songwriter and filmmaker even prior to his entry into politics.
		Opponents of the Bono Act consider the legislation to be little more than corporate welfare and have tried (but failed thus far) to have it declared unconstitutional, claiming that such an act is not "necessary and proper" to accomplishing the Constitution's stated purpose of "promot[ing] the progress of science and useful arts".
		Oral arguments were heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on October 9, 2002, and on January 15, 2003 the court held the CTEA constitutional by a 7-2 decision.

		In rock'n'roll terms, that halo once meant that Bono, and his group U2, were initially greeted by a degree of suspicion by the critical cognoscenti, who prefer their icons to be tarnished or, better still, dead.
		Bono married young to his teenage sweetheart, Ali Stewart, now herself a seasoned campaigner on behalf of the victims of the Chernobyl disaster.
		That same faith, though seldom articulated outside their songs, remains Bono's creative and moral raison d'être, and may be the defining element in why he is the biggest rock star on the planet and, perversely, why rock alone cannot contain him.

		Bono's humanitarianism has always been purchased on the credit line of U2's fame, which is precisely why it has made a noticeable return in the last year.

		The two men were discussing how terrorism is often carried out in the name of religion when Bono turned the conversation to Christianity, expressing his preference for God's grace over "karma," offering an articulate apologetic for the deity of Christ, and giving a clear presentation of the gospel message.
		Bono: You see, at the center of all religions is the idea of Karma.
		Bono: No, it's not farfetched to me. Look, the secular response to the Christ story always goes like this: he was a great prophet, obviously a very interesting guy, had a lot to say along the lines of other great prophets, be they Elijah, Muhammad, Buddha, or Confucius.

		And when Bono appeared alongside President Bush last week at the announcement of a historic $5bn aid package for the world's poorest countries - declining to remove his blue shades and matching the president's chummy wave with a peace sign - it might have looked like another standard-issue photo opportunity.
		But Bono - working in collaboration with Geldof - has pioneered a new kind of celebrity activism: he is a lobbyist, not a fundraiser.
		Bono has done his fair share of the old-style rock politics, helping Geldof with Live Aid and supporting Greenpeace and Amnesty International.

		Bono is heading down the Pavorotti route; a little plump perhaps but nothing a good truss wouldn't sort out.
