"In his global campaign against disease and destitution, Bono has taken the power of rock celebrity to new places--prime-ministerial residences, the White House and the offices of the United Nations. But the success he has had is about a lot more than his soaring voice." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) In this article, the author profiles U2 musician Bono as "the most politically effective figure in the recent history of popular culture" who passionately crusades for aid to Africa and successfully convinces world leaders that the situation in Africa is an "emergency" and not merely a "cause."
