See Bono Receive Presidential Medal of Freedom From Joe Biden
Bono received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Joe Biden at the White House Saturday, and penned an op-ed about music and freedom.
"Rock and roll promised a freedom that could not be contained or silenced, an international language of liberation," U2 singer writes in op-ed marking the highest civilian honor “The reason I am climbing on this slippery soapbox called ‘freedom’ today is that I’m being given a presidential medal by that name—an honor I’m receiving mainly for the work of others, among them my bandmates and our fellow activists—and it’s got me thinking again about the subject. Other recipients at the White House Saturday included Hillary Clinton, Lakers legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson, soccer star Lionel Messi, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, George Soros, designer Ralph Lauren, chef Jose Andres, and conservationist Jane Goodall.
