BONO BRINGS AID TO NEW YORKERS
OC61 Salon owner Louise O’Connor found a famous Good Samaritan to help her with a very heavy package. While struggling to carry some goods to her car on Madison Ave. recently, a passerby saw her and ran to help, an onlooker tells us. “This very nice man turns up, said, ‘I saw you trying to carry that, can I help?’ and she looks up and it’s Bono,” a spy tells us. “He helped her and she didn’t even realize it was him until he walked away, and she said ‘That was Bono!’ Louise is Irish [like the U2 front man], so it was extra special.”
Here's a nice story about Bono from this celebrity gossip page:

I still think it would be interesting if they went with the artist who Bono posed and met with on the rooftop in NY not long ago. Could be really a good match for an album made in NY too. : hmm:
Congrats to the B-Man.France is to bestow its highest cultural honour on U2 singer Bono, a government statement said on Monday.
The Irish singer will be made a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters in a ceremony due to be held in Paris on Tuesday evening, the Ministry of Culture and Communication said.
Bono, a leading advocate of aid for Africa, founded the global anti-poverty group ONE to help fight poverty and disease on the continent.
The U2 lead singer has received numerous awards and honours for both his humanitarian work and services to music including France's Legion d'Honneur and an honorary knighthood from Britain.
Commander Bono
(Reuters) - Irish rock star and anti-poverty activist Bono received France's highest cultural award on Tuesday for his contribution to music while being praised for using his fame to battle for humanitarian causes.
The frontman of the rock band U2 was presented with the Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters by French Culture Minister Aurelie Filippetti in a ceremony in Paris.
"Beyond notes and beyond words, you committed yourself and dedicated your fame and career to wage some of the greatest wars of our time. Not for charity's sake but in the name of justice," Filippetti said in a statement.
Bono, whose real name is Paul Hewson, said the award was a huge honour but it belonged to the band.
"I've got the biggest mouth and the loudest voice but the music we make comes from each other," he said in a statement.
Previous recipients of the award that dates back to 1957 include David Bowie, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Bob Dylan, Bruce Willis and Shakira.
Bono, 53, has received a list of awards for his music and campaigning since forming U2 about 37 years ago, including being a nominee several times for the Nobel Peace Prize.
In 2005 he was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year and in 2007 he received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth.
