Jordan Hewson and her Dad

I have not had many role models and idols in my life but Paul Hewson, a.k.a Bono, is a person I highly admire.

I saw U2 live the first time in Paris during a shool study trip 1979, before they were known and a year before their first album Boy.

I have followed U2 as my favourite band since then and I have seen their concerts live many times since then.

However my admiration for Bono goes beyond his music, his voice and his lyrics.

For me Bono is larger than life. A hero of our time. His engagament for the poor and weak in the world is unique. Using hos fame as a platform for his politics deserves respect.

Talk To Me: Bono and Jordan Hewson – A hearfelt father-daughter interview

In this Talk-To-Me video Bono is interviewed by his oldest daughter Jordan. It is beautiful. A father and his daughter. A daughter and her dad.

Today is the birthday of my oldest daughter Louise. I feel the same connection.
