Excerpt:
Playing for Change was first introduced to Bono through our friend and partner, Norman Lear, who sent Bono a DVD of some of the songs around the world. We later met with Bono to discuss the potential of him singing on "War/No More Trouble." After a brief meeting we set a plan in motion, and later recorded and filmed his performance on the song in Dublin, Ireland.

Although all three were said to die accidentally, it should be remembered all three did have one thing in common. The one thing they had in common and overlooked by investigators was they all were highly outspoken against the military establishment and especially the land mine industry. Further, Denver was known as a man of peace, Bono considered somewhat of rebel in the Republican Party and Princess Diana, of course, after divorcing and denouncing English royalty was about to have a baby with a Muslim.
If you recall at the time of their deaths, all three were trying to alert the world of the millions of land mines still killing millions of innocents around the world. Although there are obviously other reasons, the Vatican-led New World Order wanted Princess Diana out of the way, the land mine issue should not be overlooked as well strange five-month time frame surrounding all three deaths.

What Did Princess Diana, John Denver And Sonny Bono Have In Common? Were They Killed By The Vatican-Led New World Order!
All were killed within a time frame of five months and all were strongly opposed to the military establishment and especially the needless killing with land mines. Also, the father of Diana’s lover, Dodi, issues open letter, claiming MI6 and CIA involvement in pair’s death.

Bono Funding Scandal, Criticisms Upend UN Development Meeting
Commentary by Terrence McKeegan, J.D.
September 30, 2010 (C-FAM) - A rock star's scandal and a surprising critique of aid programs last week underscored heightened criticism of international development efforts.
The two incidents upended the intended message of a summit on UN development policies, reflecting a growing disconnect between rhetoric and development results.
Rock star Bono, front man of the Irish group U2, was caught violating his own call for greater transparency and accountability, which he made in an op-ed piece for the New York Times. His opinions inspired the New York Post to examine the finances of Bono's own ONE Foundation, uncovering an emerging scandal widely reported by the media.
It seems ONE had $15 million in public donations during 2008, but distributed less than $200,000 to private charities combating poverty, according to IRS records. The charity spent more than $8 million on salaries. The remainder went to advocacy, including pricey gift boxes hand-delivered to newsrooms to influence coverage of the UN summit.

Bill Clinton and Bono reveal how music changed their lives

U2 superstar Bono and former President Bill Clinton joined forces at the 35th annual American Ireland Fund gala at Lincoln Center in New York on Thursday night for a good cause -- to promote music education for children in urban and rural areas throughout Ireland.
"I have said many times -- if I hadn't been exposed to music as a child I don't think I would have been president," said Clinton, who still plays his saxophone, but added that he realized at the age of 16 he wouldn't be able to make a career of it.
Bono was the special guest at the AIF gala, attended by more than 1,300 guests and raising $3 million to enrich music programs for children in Irish schools. U2 and the Ireland Funds have partnered on a multi-year initiative to bring musical training to Irish children, with U2 committing $7 million to the project.
Bono wowed the audience with stories of how he was introduced to music in his youth.
"I grew up in the northside of Dublin in the beleaguered sixties and seventies -- music meant everything to me," Bono recalled.
He also fondly remembered putting his ear as a young child to his grandmother's piano, and being mesmerized by the sound -- until she was forced to sell it because it took up too much room in the home. Bono wanted his parents to purchase the piano, but it didn't happen. The world's most famous rock star then took it upon himself to make music a permanent part of his life.
"My megalomania started at an early age," he laughed. "Everyone in my house was going to have to listen to me now!"
He said U2's lack of formal musical education led the band to create their own unique style because they were unable to copy anyone else's.
"Music," said Bono, "is another language in which to express yourself."
"The feeling from music," he added, "is liberating. It's the most liberating language of all."
Clinton appeared onstage immediately after Bono's speech to the audience, and he thanked the U2 front man for penning a piece on his behalf in the current issue of Time Magazine's Most Influential 100 list.
"When you're old and grey and you've got to compete with Lady Gaga," the former president laughed, "your only shot is to get Bono to write on your behalf!"
Clinton spoke fondly of his trips to Ireland and the 15th anniversary of the IRA ceasefire in the North, and urged Irish Americans to stay involved in the cause of peace and justice.
"I've never had a greater honor than to be involved in the Irish peace process," Clinton added.
Bono also talked up the positive aspects of his native land, which he acknowledged has been hit hard by the recession.
"We may be down, but we don't give up and we're coming back!" he said, eliciting cheers from the crowd.
Other notables at the AIF gala included the organization's long-standing chairman Loretta Brennan Glucksman, U2 manager Paul McGuinness, Riverdance composer Bill Whelan, actor and newly appointed Irish cultural ambassador Gabriel Byrne, U.S. economic envoy to Ireland Declan Kelly, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn.

ONE Foundation giving tiny percentage funds charity
Excerpt:
Bono's ONE foundation under fire for giving little over 1% of funds to charity
By Daily Mail ReporterLast updated at 9:48 PM on 23rd September 2010
Bono's anti-poverty foundation ONE is under pressure to explain its finances after it was revealed that only a small percentage of money it raises reaches the needy.
The non-profit organisation set up by the U2 frontman received almost £9.6million in donations in 2008 but handed out only £118,000 to good causes (1.2 per cent).
The figures published by the New York Post also show that £5.1million went towards paying salaries.
