U2 – Bono Turns 50
U2 frontman BONO is celebrating his 50th birthday on Monday (10May10), marking a career which has taken him from early rehearsals in a pal’s kitchen to international rock star, leading campaigner on humanitarian issues, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
– Bono is a keen chess player, falling in love with the game at the age of 12 after he became “fascinated” with its grandmasters.

Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
It looks like Bono uses the same beard dye used by Billy Mays.
He needs to go gray like Pitt or Clooney.
We all know he is gray.
There are some people you really hope dislike chess. Probably just more attention seeking from him anyway.
I admire Bono for his activism. Glad to hear he likes chess.
