Bono est un chanteur mais aussi un entrepreneur. Né Paul Hewson, il s'investit beaucoup pour 2 causes: l'entrepreneuriat et l'Afrique. Pour l'Afrique, il lance One puis le label RED des initiatives pour lutter contre la pauvreté ou les maladies en Afrique. ll implique beaucoup d'entrepreneurs à ses côtés pour financer ces projets. Le magazine Time finit même par écrire “Est-ce que Bono peut sauver le monde ?”. Il fonde avec sa femme, Alison Hewson, la marque de vêtements, Edun, une marque qui fait fabriquer en Afrique. Bernard Arnault et LVMH investissent même dans l'entreprise, Edun. Mais Bono n'a pas autant de succès avec ses entreprises qu'avec ses chansons. Edun perd beaucoup d'argent et LVMH se retire puis son projet d'hôtel à Dublin est un gouffre financier. Pire même, il est nommé par une revue spécialisée, comme le “pire investisseur aux États-Unis”. Son fonds, Elevation Partners accumule les mauvais investissements. Mais son karma va tourner le jour où Elevation Partners investit dans Facebook qui représente alors une grosse partie de la fortune de Paul Hewson. U2 continue de lui rapporter beaucoup d'argent avec des tournées mondiales. Mais son projet de vie ? Éradiquer la faim dans le monde et notamment en Afrique.

Bono est un chanteur mais aussi un entrepreneur. Né Paul Hewson en 1960 à Dublin, il rencontre Larry Mullen Jr en 1976 au lycée avec lequel il fonde un groupe de rock. Enfant rebelle, Paul s'est essayé à tout. Échecs, théâtre, sa vraie passion est le chant. Puis en 1976, il fonde un groupe de musique avec Larry Mullen Jr, Adam Clayton et David Evans (The Edge). Nommé Feedback qui devient The Hype puis U2 en 1978 , le groupe sous la houlette d'un Bono avec une voix très marquée, gagne un concours de concours mais ne sait pas chanter en studio. C'est l'arrivée de Paul Mc Guiness qui va les aider à se professionnaliser. Cet écossais au sens business aigu transforme le groupe. Puis ils signent chez Island Record pour 4 albums. 4 albums qui vont tout exploser. Boy avec leur single “I will follow”, puis War avec “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, ou enfin Joshua Tree avec “With or without you”. Le groupe devient mythique et commence des tournées dans le monde entier. Sa tournée, ZOO TV, à la suite de l'album Achtung Baby sorti en 1990 rapporte 67 millions de dollars. L'album, le plus vendu en 2000, All you can't leave behind cumule les prix. Mais Bono n'est pas seulement un chanteur mais un entrepreneur qui très tôt s'intéresse à la Silicon Valley. Il propose à Steve Jobs une des ses chansons gratuitement pour le lancement de l'Ipod puis fonde un fonds d'investissement, Elevation Partners. Il investit dans Yelp, Forbes… Mais tout n'est pas rose pour lui.

Bono is a singer, songwriter and the frontman of U2, one of the most recognisable and successful bands in music history. They have sold over 170 million albums, won 22 Grammys – more than any other band – and two Golden Globe Awards. Bono is also known for his work as an activist, especially in Africa where he has played a prominent role in campaigns which tackle poverty and HIV/AIDs. Bono was born Paul Hewson in Dublin in 1960. A schoolfriend named him Bono after a hearing aid shop in Dublin called Bono Vox, and the name stuck. When he was 16, Bono saw a poster on his school noticeboard posted by Larry Mullen Jr asking for people to form a rock band. He responded with enthusiasm and before long was rehearsing with his future bandmates Larry, who played the drums, guitarist the Edge and bassist Adam Clayton. The band's debut album Boy came out in 1980 and five years later they made an impact at the Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium when Bono disappeared from the stage for two minutes to get up close to the audience. One newspaper later described this incident as one of the 50 key events in rock history. U2's subsequent albums, including the Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum and Achtung Baby, cemented their status as global superstars, filling arenas around the world. In 2004 Bono co-founded One, an international campaigning organisation which was set up with the aim of ending extreme poverty and preventable disease by 2030. Bono met his future wife, Ali, at school when they were both teenagers. They married in 1982 and have four children.

Paul Hewson is born in Dublin

Être "fils de" n'est pas une mince affaire, tant on doit sentir un poids, une pression sur les épaules. Alors quand en plus on décide de faire le même métier que son père et que celui s'appelle Paul Hewson, autrement dit Bono, on a le monde entier de la musique qui nous attend et veut nous entendre. Elijah Hewson est à la tête du groupe Inhaler qui vient de sortir son premier album. Forcément, notre curiosité nous presse d'aller écouter ce disque intitulé “It Won't always be like this”. Le quatuor s'est formé en 2012 pendant les années lycées. Ils ont mis presque dix ans pour se forger une identité, un style propre. Ces dernières années plusieurs singles sont parus. La filiation de Elijah a permis au groupe de tourner dans le monde entier avant même d'avoir sorti un album. Inhaler s'est offert une première partie d'un concert de Noel Gallagher. L'album aurait dû sortir l'année dernière. La crise sanitaire a tout repoussé. Depuis quelques semaines on peut enfin entendre “It won't always be like this”. Cette première production concentre tout le travail et l'énergie déployés ces dernières années par le groupe pour se démarquer. Les Irlandais de Inhaler dévoilent une pop rock efficace, un brin mélancolique. Elijah Hewson est au chant, sa voix ressemble souvent à celle de son père, c'est parfois même déroutant. Le groupe possède un son authentique mais quand même bien imprégné des influences familiales. Malgré tout, on se laisse embarquer par des mélodies accrocheuses. Dans le propos, on est moins convaincu par les textes mièvres qui relatent des amours d'ado. Ce premier coup d'essai de Inhaler offre quand même de belles surprises. Inhaler a tout pour réussir et s'imposer sur la scène musicale. On souhaite à Elijah au moins la même réussite que son père !

Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Paul David Hewson was born in Ireland on May 10th, 1960. During his childhood and early teens, Paul and his brother, Norman, spent a lot of time together and had a lot of fun. Often, they would get together with friends and sing loudly in the streets of Dublin, sometimes just to see what people would say! One day Paul was singing especially loud when a friend gave him the nickname of “Bono Vox.” Paul hated that nickname until later, when he learned that “Bonavox” was a Latin phrase meaning “good voice!” Since then, Paul Hewson has been known simply as Bono. In the 1970s, Bono became the main singer in a rock band called U2. Over the years, Bono has made hundreds of millions of dollars and he has become extremely famous. But he hasn't used his money and his fame selfishly. He has chosen to HELP other people, mainly people in very poor countries of Africa. He is dedicated to fighting poverty, disease, and hunger. He has worked diligently with presidents and other leaders of more wealthy nations to encourage them to HELP, too. Yes, that young boy who sang loudly through the streets of Dublin, grew up to use his talents and his caring determination to HELP millions of people—Paul Hewson became Bono—and Bono... became a HERO. That's what I know about the beginning of This Hero, and I know that YOU Can Be a Hero TOO!Dear Parents, After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways. Research has shown the TCN Method™ to be the single most effective school based Violence and Bully Prevention Intervention of its entire genre. We have hundreds of testimonials from educators describing the results they have gotten, and you can view many of these at http://www.thecharacternetwork.org/Testimonials (www.TheCharacterNetwork.org/Testimonials) This program, The Beginning of a Famous Hero™ is used in conjunction with a companion program called Bully Alert!™ in schools played over the intercom during morning announcements twice or more each school week, and backed up by a common culture which reinforces the principles taught, at every turn, and incorporates the phrases of the academic language during any teachable moment. These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it's just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.” They also promote the concept of POSITIVE PERSONAL VISION, helping each student to realistically visualize his or her own "Future Self," and in doing so help relate consequences of actions and attitudes today (good or bad) to that future self.

This is a show all about fake names…sure we could spend an hour talking about how people like Courtney Love and Elton John and Madonna use fake names on hotel registers…or we could go into how Bono’s real name is “Paul Hewson” and Deadmau5 has “Joel Zimmerman” on his driver’s license and that lorde is really Ella Yelich O’Connor… We could talk about how singers and bands sometimes perform gigs under fake names to throw off the press…the Foo Fighters, The Arcade Fire, Metallica, The Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, REM, Kaiser Chiefs, Led Zeppelin, The Clash and hundreds of others have done that… But no, we’re going to kick it up a big notch…we’re only interested in real bands—big bands—who have released albums under fake identities…or, at the very least, have tried to obscure their identities for whatever reason…they’re side projects, yes, but very special ones… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part 2 with Debbie Harwood is here! Debbie came back to share some of the wilder stories from her career. Some are heartbreaking, most are hilarious. She talks about touring with When The Cats Away right after having throat surgery, her eventful night trying to get home from Waiheke Island after being stranded, dancing evocatively on stage with Jimmy Barnes as Jimmy's wife stood in the wings, making dinner for Paul Hewson on the night he quit Dragon and the time a ghost tried to reclaim her car. Feel like a funny distraction from the world? Come a long for the ride.

1976 in Dublin, Ireland, a superstar rock and pop group came together, featuring several “one named” members like Bono and The Edge. They are U2. Now, let’s take a Deep Dive into their success: The band’s original name was ‘Feedback,’ perhaps because of the awful noise they made in rehearsals. Before settling on U2, they almost went with ‘The Hype.’ Even though the band settled on U2 officially, Bono has never exactly been sold on the name. He says it sounds like a bad pun: You too? So why exactly did two of the band members change their real names to stage names? “The Edge” named himself as such because of his striking chinline. And Bono’s name was adapted from a hearing aid company name, Bono Vox, which used to be extensively advertised on TV. Because the band were very loud performers, bandmate Paul Hewson thought it was an appropriate moniker for the lead singer The band got their start in front of large audiences thanks to another UK band, The Clash, who invited them on their White Riot tour. The band’s first tour performance was right at home in Dublin at Trinity College As you might have noticed, the band writes all their own songs and never tries to cover other works from songwriters or other groups. The members formed the band before they all learned to play their instruments, so they didn’t feel comfortable trying to play other people’s songs The band has been together since their inception, though they did almost break up one time in the past. In the early 80s, the born-again Christian group that some of the band members belonged to almost convinced them to break up as a “sacrifice to God” The band members have lived in places all over the country, including right here in the US. In particular, The Edge was well known for his former Los Angeles Residence…it happened to be the same home that Eric and Lyle Menendez killed their parents in 1989 On November 27, 1993 U2 performed their only one concert without the full band; bassist Adam Clayton got so drunk the night before a show in Sydney that he couldn't go on stage and was replaced by bass technician Stuart Morgan. Clayton has cited the devastation he felt at missing the gig as the reason why he quit drinking The Joshua tree on the album cover is located in Death Valley, California. It's location was kept secret for years, but it was eventually toppled over in 2000 The band continues to write, perform, and tour together to this day, with no signs of slowing down

EFEMERIDES 1961. Nace el baterista de U2 Larry Mullen, en Dublín (Irlanda). Fue él quien pensando en formar una banda puso un anuncio en un periódico escolar buscando músicos y acudieron The Edge, Bono, Paul Hewson y Adam Clayton, naciendo U2. 1983. Se edita “Pipes of peace”, de Paul McCartney. El ex Beatles, venía de editar el fabuloso “Tug of war”, había pasado los cuarenta y decidió ser contemporáneo. Pero estábamos en la década de los ochenta, y la modernidad del momento, no calzaba mucho con su música. Además, se instaló en una suerte de rock blando poco convincente. Como tampoco convencieron los invitados principales: Michael jackson y Setevie Wonder. La crisis de los cuarenta hecha disco. 1988. Se publica “Choba B CCCP”, de Paul McCartney. Aquí quiso poner orden en sus propias filas volviendo a los orígenes, al rock and roll, sin más. Así que se marcó unas cuantas versiones de los pioneros del género, grabadas en dos días y con la intención de que el disco saliera únicamente en la Unión Soviética (luego se publicó en el resto del mundo). Un álbum muy recomendable.

AIOTM Video Series #4: Barbara. Has becoming a dad meant that Richard has lost his comedy mojo? Only you can decide (but the answer seems to be yes). Having finally got rid of the dead wood of Emma Kennedy and getting back the dead wood of Dan Tetsell, Rich turns his attention to how constitutional revenge porn is and meets the couple whose decision to back out of selling him their house has created two very different possible futures (have you seen the film Sliding Doors?). There is some very tender and beautiful love-making betwixt Rich and his toaster robot and Tiny Baby Anus turn their attention to Baa Baa Black Sheep. Christian Reilly sings about Paul Hewson and the naughty dog is back, as the cast become largely replaced by puppets. Abraham Lincoln might be in there somewhere, who knows?

This is a show all about fake names…sure we could spend an hour talking about how people like Courtney Love and Elton John and Madonna use fake names on hotel registers…or we could go into how Bono’s real name is “Paul Hewson” and Deadmau5 has “Joel Zimmerman” on his driver’s license and that lorde is really Ella Yelich O’Connor… We could talk about how singers and bands sometimes perform gigs under fake names to throw off the press…the Foo Fighters, The Arcade Fire, Metallica, The Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, REM, Kaiser Chiefs, Led Zeppelin, The Clash and hundreds of others have done that… But no, we’re going to kick it up a big notch…we’re only interested in real bands—big bands—who have released albums under fake identities…or, at the very least, have tried to obscure their identities for whatever reason…they’re side projects, yes, but very special ones…

The gang reunites to talk about hand feel, phablets, luxury watches, watches that we keep calling phones, and police brutality. The gang does not reunite to talk about Gamergate, iCloud security, Paul McCartney or Android anything.

Also, all three parts from The Takeaway series "Real People / Best Pictures" (produced by Kristen and hosted by John Hockenberry) are here, with some voices we don't normally hear on Oscar night (but maybe should).

In this week's Movie Date podcast, Rafer and Kristen recount their encounters with wildlife in the city and ponder the ways that dance-offs are better than shoot-outs. It's all in honor of the animated feature, "The Nut Job," the buddy cop comedy, "Ride Along," and the spy thriller, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit." Rafer and Kristen also weigh in on the Oscar nominations, which were announced this Thursday. And there's a big trivia-related mea culpa as well!   THE FULL LIST OF ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEES Best Picture "12 Years A Slave" "American Hustle" "Dallas Buyers Club" "Her" "Nebraska" "Captain Phillips" "The Wolf of Wall Street" "Gravity" "Philomena" Actor in a Leading Role Bruce Dern - "Nebraska" Chiwetel Ejiofor - "12 Years A Slave" Matthew McConaughey - "Dallas Buyers Club" Christian Bale - "American Hustle" Leonardo DiCaprio - "The Wolf of Wall Street" Actor in a Supporting Role Barkhad Abdi - "Captain Phillips" Michael Fassbender - "12 Years A Slave" Jared Leto - "Dallas Buyers Club" Bradley Cooper - "American Hustle" Jonah Hill - "The Wolf of Wall Street" Actress in a Leading Role Cate Blanchett - "Blue Jasmine" Sandra Bullock - "Gravity" Judi Dench - "Philomena" Meryl Streep - "August: Osage County" Amy Adams - "American Hustle" Actress in a Supporting Role Sally Hawkins - "Blue Jasmine" Jennifer Lawrence - "American Hustle" Lupita Nyong'o - "12 Years A Slave" Julia Roberts - "August: Osage County" June Squibb - "Nebraska" Animated Feature Film "The Croods" "Despicable Me 2" "Frozen" "The Wind Rises" "Ernest & Celestine" Cinematography "The Grandmaster" "Gravity" "Inside Llewyn Davis" "Nebraska" "Prisoners" Costume Design "American Hustle" "The Grandmaster" "The Great Gatsby" "The Invisible Woman" "12 Years a Slave" Directing Alfonso Cuaron - "Gravity" Steve McQueen - "12 Years A Slave" Alexander Payne - "Nebraska" David O.
