Bono, born Paul Hewson, got his off a sign advertising Bono Vox of O'Connell Street, a hearing-aid store in Dublin.

Bono -- say it Bon-no, to sound like the German city and not like the name of Cher's ex-husband -- came up with the name for David Evans. "The edge is the border between something and nothing," he announced...

...eight Grammy nominations, including one for Album of the Year?U2 dispensed with the drum loops and DJs it had toyed with on Pop and got back to the hard business of writing big, straightforward songs. Lyrically, Bono was struggling with his father's terminal illness (his father Bob Hewson died of cancer last year), but specificity can be the plague of pop. Songs like One, Where the Streets Have No Name, Stay (Faraway, So Close) and Walk On from All That You Can't Leave Behind achieve the impossible?becoming meaningful to millions of people?precisely because they...
