When a Bono isn?t a Bono
KFSM reported that Sonny Bono had made Time magazine’s list of “Persons of the Year.” But Sonny Bono, a singer who was married to Cher, died in a snow skiing accident in 1998.
Time’s 2005 honoree was Paul Hewson, lead singer for the rock band U2, who goes simply by the name Bono. Hewson was tagged with the nickname “Bono Vox” in high school. It was the name of a hearing aid store in Dublin, Ireland, and fittingly means “good voice” in Latin.
At least KFSM showed the right Bono’s picture with the story.
