Half A Century Man

Bono, Brussel, 9 juni 2005
We don’t do birthday posts here too often, but we can’t let this one slip by unmarked. Bono turns 50 today. Fifty!
So, to our fearless leader, tireless activist, saviour of whales, honorary Frisbeetarian, keeper of the key to Dublin City, Knight Commander of the British Empire (ssssh!), don’t worry he’ll get that Nobel prize eventually, formerly Vox of O’Connell Street, the best singer in U2 (allegedly), one-third of the Funky Trinity, violater of indecency standards, the Pope of Lypton Village, 5’7”-ish creeper wearing hunk of Northside goodness: the Man that B…. Happy Birthday, Bono. Old souls stay young at heart.

  1. Totally agree, except for him being ‘the best singer in U2’…
    We might want to keep that quiet too, Edge might develop an attitude which imperils the unity in our favorite group 😉

    Chapter one of ‘Band manual’: Steer clear of front man discussion and Yoko situations at all costs!
