Bono's Daughter Was Center of Kidnapping Plan
Bono's daughter, Jordan Hewson, was the target of an abduction plot in 1994. Five Irish criminals reportedly planned to demand $8 million in exchange for the U2 frontman's then four-year-old daughter.However, according to a new book written by the daughter of gangster Martin "The General" Cahill, Frances, the plan foiled when Martin called off the mission after six straight months of camping out at Bono's Dublin estate. "It ISN'T going to happen," he said. Frances is the eldest of Cahill's nine children, and the Bono-related scam is just one of the many shameful acts detailed in her book 'Martin Cahill, My Father,' which was released last week.

IF BONZO EVER EXPECTS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY HE NEEDS TO LOSE THE "GROOVY" STUPID GLASSES AND LEARN TO TUCK IN HIS SHIRT.

What do you call a rockstar turned political guru?
The Antichrist.

Seriously.
The whole signs those people were holding...
"Bono Lead by example, i will follow."
Gross. The only person you should be following is Jesus. Wake up people.

Bono, not taken seriously? LMAO Whatever, dude, you are jealous. The man rocks, right down to his untucked shirt and awesome glasses. He is a rocker, and a humanitarian...he is a great person, a positive example for even the youth of today. He is not caught up in the rock world of drugs etc. All rockers should be like him, the world would be better off.

seriously people, in a world of lindsay lohans and britney spears, i would much prefer for musicians to do something good with their influence instead of showing todays generation that 30 days in a hotel called "rehab" is the norm. wouldnt you?

Seriously, Bono has done some amazingly generous work for humanitarian causes. If anything he should be admired....not reviled.

I would think that when a person has been on the short list for the Nobel Peace Prize for a few years, it might be an indication that he is in fact being taken seriously.

Bono has a child? I love this progressive world we live in where homosexual can raise kids.

Greeneyed monsters who do nothing but judge others and complain, yada yada yada. Spend your time trying to save something other than your porn sites and My space page. I don't see you on the cover of Time Magazine and
taking trips to poor impoverised nations to bring awareness to those regions of the world. Get outta your folks basement and off your lap top

Shell; In regards to your comments , this is the USA and everyone has the RIGHT to believe in what they want and follow what & who they want. P.S. I don't pray to Jesus because he is not my God. So there. I believe your idea follows a dictatorship not a democracy

BONO ROCKS the real world!!!! He's not only a rock star, but a humanitarian, donating time and money to worthy causes. They don't put people on the list for a Nobel Prize because they are slackers. He doesn't need to have his face plastered all over the place either. He does his thing without any fanfare. A welcomed change from those losers, Brit, Lindsey, and Paris!!!!
