Musicians Who Set the Stage for Rock and Roll

Bono

U2 was an unlikely contender for rock fame when they hit the scene in the early 80s. What separated Bono from the other musicians was his advocacy for activism, philanthropy, and inclusion over the entire industry. Bono never saw himself as a “rock god,” he felt, and still feels like he’s just another guy who has a platform to help others. Within that philosophy, Bono donates a fair deal of his concert funds his own charitable foundations, and he still campaigns and protests with normal people regularly.
