Bono, born Paul David Hewson, was born on May 10, 1960, in Dublin. He joined U2 while he was still in secondary school (high school) but it was the band s sixth album, The Joshua Tree, that made the Irish men international stars.

Over the years, Bono has used his celebrity status to bring the world’s attention to problems such as world poverty and AIDS. In 2005, he was named “Person of the Year” by TIME magazine, and in 2007, Queen Elizabeth II made him an honorary knight for his service.

Heavy Sun, Daniel Lanois new LP, will have you proclaiming Hallelujah! Chalk that up, in part, to Johnny Shepherd, who not so much sings as preaches and testifies most of the album s vocals. All the while, Shepherd s shrill organ riffs could galvanize any congregation to their feet. It s certainly a different tone than the hazily haunting production Lanois famously offered U2, Bob Dylan, and fellow Canuck Neil Young.
That means casual fans familiar with the Hull, QC-born legend s work behind the boards will be surprised by Please Don t Try. A prime example of what sets this LP apart from the mainstream Lanois oeuvre, Please Don t Try finds Shepherd s organ purring in contentment as he belts out one devoted-love proclamation after the other. The song climaxes with gorgeous harmonies between Shepherd, Lanois, guitarist Rocco DeLuca, and bassist Jim Wilson. Tumbling Stone takes those qualities even further.

Inspired by the liner notes that accompany vinyl records, which started as places for advertising and became “potent places for experimentation and critique,” Daphne Brooks places her own book between genres.
Liner Notes for the Revolution is at once a “counterhistory of popular music criticism,” archival scholarship on the lost and under-remembered figures of Black women’s music-making, and a manual for how to listen to music in a way that understands singing itself as culture work and intellectual labor. Frankfurt School thinkers make frequent appearances in the bibliography, as do Black feminist scholars from Zora Neale Hurston on, but they’re almost outnumbered by critics, poets, and fiction writers, and they’re all placed on equal intellectual ground with the musicians themselves.1
Bono wants a major rethink on U.S. foreign policy regarding Africa. The Dubliner and frontman for U2 feels that aid can work but only if the burden of debt is removed, and he took his argument to U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill.

When Bob Geldof roused the Western world out of indifference about starvation in Ethiopia, much was made of the fact that he was Irish. The general wisdom suggested he understood the Ethiopian plight because he shared a folk memory of famine. The Dubliner insisted his response was purely humanitarian, but no one could deny that the Boomtown Rat was somehow following an established path between Ireland and Africa.
