Bono will be in Paris tomorrow (Feb. 28) to receive the Legion of Honor from French president Jacques Chirac. Bono will be given the rank of Chevalier dans l’Ordre de la Legion d’Honneur (Knight in the Order of the Legion of Honor). He is being recognized for his work with Third World debt relief.
The president’s schedule indicates that he will be meeting with Bono at 11:45 a.m. at the Elysee Palace.

Chevalier dans l’Ordre de la Legion d’Honneur sounds quite impressive! (even more when you say it outloud lol) But i’m wondering, is it really as important as it sounds? Does anyone know?

I AM PROUD OF BONO for his accomplishments. Those that post on this site knocking this man’s hard work for basic human rights need a good tongue lashing! Why is that humans find this need to KNOCK those who are doing their damnest to make a difference in this world. Those who post these insidious remarks about Bono should take a long hard look in the mirror about what they are doing to make positive difference in this world. I am sure this won’t be the last reward he will receive, but will be one of many more to come. PEACE TO ALL

I knew he’d be getting a knighthood. LOL I just didn’t think it would come from France. Well, I guess he does own a house there.
I was wondering about that “wanker” comment. Hmmm! Indeed. I couldn’t remember if that was Chirac or not.

Don’t you wonder if Bono is standing there wondering…”Didn’t I call that guy a wanker a couple years ago? And does he know it?”
