 WASHINGTON (AP) - Rock star Bono has tried to feed the world and he's tried to heal the world. Now, he's trying to help some U.S. lawmakers teach the world.
The lead singer of the Irish group U2 — and perennial advocate for anti-poverty programs — on Tuesday joined with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., and other lawmakers seeking to expand basic education around the world.
"I can't vote for any of them, but I'm thankful for what they're doing," Bono said from Ireland during a conference call with legislators. "This is why I'm a fan — and an annoying fan at times — of America."
