War Child
One of the things I really love about Bono is his character. Not only does he still have the same wife after all these years, he still hangs out with his old childhood buddies Guggi and Gavin. He knew them before he knew the members of U2! He and Guggi (Derek Rowans) were friends as little kids! His brother Peter is the 'boy' on the War album cover and he was in some early videos!I read somewhere that Bono, Guggi and Gavin have known each other so long they can communicate in their own 'language' of grunts, dirty looks and hand gestures and the others always understand and laugh!
Of course Bono does his share of jetsetting and cohorting and hobnobbing with his fellow celebrities, but it seems whenever he has spare time, he chooses to spend it with Guggi and Gavin. Why? Because he wants to. Because he cares. Because he never got so jaded he deserted his old buddies. Because that's the kind of guy Bono is, and I love him for it.
Besides, Guggi and Gavin seem like a lot of fun!
I found a thread on EYKIW posted by Cathy about a documentary on the three friends. I never heard about it, I would love to see it.
Here is a pic from it.
Guggi, Gavin and Bono. They've grown up together, shared their lives together, and they'll grow old together. How special.
