Billie Joe's Tribute to Bono
Rolling Stone Magazine recently compiled a list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, and U2's front man Bono made the countdown at number 32. Billie Joe wrote the article discussing Bono for the countdown:
I would describe Bono's singing as 50 percent Guinness, 10 percent cigarettes - and the rest is religion. He's a physical singer, like the leader of a gospel choir, and he gets lost in the melodic moment. He goes to a place outside himself, especially in front of an audience, when he hits those high notes. That's where his real power comes from — the pure, unadulterated Bono.
The rest of the article is available on Rolling Stone's website.
