U2's Bono was one of the few real rock heroes of the 1980s, leading the Irish band to international recognition with a charged, political approach to music. The band's early efforts brought a stadium-size presence to alt-rock, with Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's distinct guitar lines interacting seamlessly with the rhythm section of bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. In 1987, U2 broke through to superstardom with THE JOSHUA TREE, a grand culmination of their '80s soun...Read More >

While hard core Republican obstructionists and reactionaries vote against ethics reform and against health care for needy children, the RNC is embracing... Bono. The U2 frontman has been careful to never tell Republicans-- or his audience-- what he really thinks of them. The strategy is to keep the doors open so he can work with them. And he has. Bono actually has credibility with extreme right wing loons like Rick Santorum and some of the other maniacs. Today's Moonie Ti... MORE
