Yes he is. He is racially a Jew. He's what you call a crypto-Jew. And so is Bill Gates, his pal.

He is Catholic. Two members are Protestant, two members are Catholic, They are called U2 so that the people of Northern Ireland would know that "you too can get along just fine".

Mini biography

Bono has been lead singer of the band U2 since 1976. U2 has won 22 Grammy Awards to date, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. Lauded by fans and critics as an outstanding performer and song-writer, Bono has also been praised by world leaders as an accomplished activist due to his powers of persuasion and knowledge of the issues. He travels extensively to give speeches and lobby politicians. Bono's career as a socially conscious musician has been shaped by childhood experiences in Ireland as well as volunteer work in Africa and South America. He married his childhood sweetheart Ali Hewson in 1982. An accomplished activist in her own right, Ali Hewson once declined an invitation to run for President of Ireland because her husband "would not move to a smaller house". They live in Dublin with their four children: Jordan, Memphis Eve, Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q, and John Abraham.

Personal quotes

"Everyone argues, then we do what I say." - 1987

"It costs a fortune to look this trashy."

"Never trust a man who tells you it's from the heart, never trust a man smoking a cigar, never trust a cowboy or a man who wears shades..."

"I could go onstage, unzip my pants, and hang my dick out, and people would think it was a statement about something."

"Marriage is this grand madness, and I think if people knew that, they would perhaps take it more seriously. The reason why there's operas and novels and pop tunes written about love is because it's such an extraordinary thing, not because it's commonplace, and yet that's what you're told, you grow up with this idea that it's the norm." Hot Press, March 2000

"Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today" - recalling his late father's influence

"I love art too much to call these anything other than marks on paper" - on his paintings

"I think ABBA have a pure joy to their music and that's what makes them extraordinary."

U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don't really know what we're doing and when we do, it doesn't seem to help.

When I write, it's there. There's no staring at a blank page.

[about The Edge] He's an owl!

[talking about The Edge] And that's not always a given - that he would want to play guitar. He might be into keyboards this album, and you have Larry and Adam going "oh ****, he's into the keyboards now. We'll never get a rock song out of him".

Look, I'm sick of Bono and I AM Bono.

It would be wrong for me to say, 'Yes, we can change the world with a song.' But every time I try writing, that's where I'm at. I'm not stupid. I'm aware of the futility of rock & roll music, but I'm also aware of its power.

"I represent a lot of people [in Africa] who have no voice at all... They haven't asked me to represent them. It's cheeky but I hope they're glad I do."

The world is more malleable than you think. We can bend it into a better shape. Ask big questions, demand big answers.

"I hate the idea of being in the UK Hall of Fame to be honest with you. We don't want to be in any Hall of Fame until we're retired or dead."

I know sometimes you shouldn't judge your audience by the fans you meet, especially if they're in a flowerbed in your garden at home but U2 fans are different, they're very humane.
Where are they now

(August 2005) His group U2 has given 3 successful concerts of their tour Vertigo in Spain: Barcelona (7), San Sebastián (9) and Madrid (11)

(February 2006) U2 just gave a concert in Monterrey, Mexico and are still in Mexico for their concerts on the 15th and 16th. Their next stop is Brazil as they continue with the fourth leg of the Vertigo Tour.

(August 2006) Bono visited Sarajevo Film Festival in Bosnia.
