It is fabulous in my mind to be a Rock Star and being that opinionative. Bono has received a number of awards for his music and activism, including the Légion d'Honneur from the French government in 2003 and Time Magazine's Person of the Year for 2005 (along with Bill and Melinda Gates). In 2007 he was awarded an honorary British knighthood and in 2008 he was given the Nobel "Man of Peace" prize at the Ninth Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates. (NY Times/Bono Biography)
