Bono (musician)
Bono is frontman of the rock band U2. The rock legend sang "The Hands That Built America," at the Clinton Presidential Center dedication ceremony in November 2004. Bono's handwritten lyrics to the song are on exhibit in the Library Music Room designed by Kaki Hockersmith.
Bono became friends with the President in 1992 when Clinton allowed the rock group U2 to join his entourage in traveling to a Chicago Bears game. Said Clinton later, "I saved them an hour, and we were friends for life." Clinton and the rock group had been staying at the same hotel and became friendly. "Bono gave me a signed copy of poems by William Butler Yeats with a hilarious inscription from him that said, 'Bill, this guy wrote some good lyrics, too,'" he noted.
