As I am a rather RABID U2 fan, I thought I would add this article on Bono, who has truly become one of the most well spoken "lobbyists" on global poverty and development.
To some, he may be "just a singer" but his following (and that of U2) is legion. He's very intelligent, and doesn't play favorites. He's met with both Bush and Clinton, as well as other people on opposite sides of the fence, in order to get funding for Africa.
Besides that, Bono is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. His Irish upbringing, his strong faith, and "gift of gab" have helped him write some of the deepest most meaningful lyrics penned in music, and as such, has led U2 to the top of the music charts over and over.
EDIT: argh, looks like 'twas not to be. :( Could have been one of my fave photos ever!
