ONE

What does one of the world's most famous rock stars know about poverty? Plenty. Bono not only makes great music, he is making big changes in the world as well. In 2002, Bono founded DATA, Debt AIDS Trade Africa. He now influences popular culture AND the world's most powerful leaders. In recognition of his achievements, TIME magazine named him one of 2005's Persons of the Year.

Bono is awesome! I'd petition to get him canonized - if only to have churches decorated with saints wearing shades.

Seriously, though, he is a hero of mine. How many people can say, "I got the national debt of several third world countries forgiven"?
