Bono in person!
May 2nd, 2006 Posted in Uncategorized
I know this is a bit off-topic, but so what – it’s Bono! That’s right, I’m going to see Bono speak.
The World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth will present Bono, lead singer of Irish Rock Band U2, activist and co-founder of DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa), on Friday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Music Hall at Fair Park. This TIME Magazine Person of the Year in 2005 has used his celebrity worldwide to influence the powerful to the benefit of the poor. Bono will speak on his work to bring attention and resources to the fight against global AIDS and poverty in Africa.
The Wife got two tickets for us, and as you can imagine I’m quite excited. I’ve been very impressed with Bono for years now with his approach to truly helping out Africa’s poor. He’s one of the experts on the subject, and has used his celebrity not to feed his own ego but to put the right people in the same room.
