My little poem to the man himself

An Ode To A Fifty-Year Old Married Man

O bon anniversaire dear Bono
Fifty years old today
May your fans sing to you like Monroe
Seducing your man JFK

On record, in print, on stages
Your words douse, your voice lights your fans’ fire
Wild influence across all my ages
You arouse, you ignite, you inspire

So bon anniversaire dear Bono
Fifty years old today
May the hangover you have tomorrow
Alchemise to another Grammay

[A stor]

Well done! Lemon Melon.......

 

[U2Mama]

Isn't 50 the "new" 40??

 

[BluRmGrl]

He was a category on Jeopardy last night ("Pro Bono")

Dammit - of all the nights for me to miss Jeopardy!

 

[tiny dancer]

Bono, welcome to the golden age!!!

 

[Rachel D.]

Happy birthday, Bono!

He was a category on Jeopardy last night ("Pro Bono")

Aw, I missed that. Is there a video somewhere online?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I'm actually curious as to what the questions were for his Jeopardy category.

Oh, and Happy 50th to the geezer.

I was going to make an inappropriate joke here about...something. But I've decided against it.

 

[Anu]

Nice Thread. Nice Art. Nice Poem.

We put a B-day Card on the Mainpage. Cute Young Bono Pics on The Front. Also:

I was going to make an inappropriate joke here about...something. But I've decided against it.

Just going off memory here, but I think all of the questions concerned honors or awards he has won or been nominated for. (It was also the first category chosen by a contestant)

Which Nobel Prize has he been nominated for? (I think they said three times)
What honor granted from the UK?
Which city awarded him the Liberty Medal?
What was he awarded by France in 2003?

Darn, can't remember the other one. I recorded it, I could always go back and check the exact questions...

 

[doctorwho]

He really isn't, but that's okay.

You haven't been to PLEBA lately.

And he has his moments (like most that age). His look this tour is much better than last tour - and he seems thinner and healthier too (voice is also showing it).

Happy Belated B-Day, B-man. I hope I don't catch up to you too fast.

 

[doctorwho]

Yes, yes I am. That was my first U2 concert so Bono's b-day always has added meaning for me.

That's right - I have seen U2 perform on Bono's b-day. It was the Vertigo tour. And that's the show they recorded (in Chicago). Yay me!

 

[speaker]

Isn't 50 the "new" 40??

lol, never heard of it. but 50 is still ok, look at Johnny Cash - he continued in his career until he died aged 71! Bono has a lot ahead of him.

 

[subnet]

isn't madonna like 56? i wouldn't worry so much

bono just needs to do some jazzercize

 

[bonocomet]

Yeah, I'm actually curious as to what the questions were for his Jeopardy category.

Ok here you go...

A Pro Bono Category

$200 - Queen Elizabeth made Bono an honorary one of these in 2006. (He's Irish, though, so you don't have to call him "Sir".)

$400 - He hasn't won, but U2 frontman Bono has received 3 nominations for the Nobel Prize for this.

$600 - At a 2007 ceremony at the National Constitution Center, Bono received this US city's Liberty Medal.

$800 - Republican Senator Rick Santorum once said, "Bono understands his issues better than 99% of members of" this.

$1000 - French President Jacques Chirac made Bono a Chevalier of this "Legion" in 2003.

Happy birthday, Bono!

Thanks! I'd watch it, but school ended and I'm back home on the ol' dialup.
