That's Still Sir Bono To You!

My favorite man in the entire human race has just been knighted by the British empire.

Bono received his knighthood yesterday, but 'don't call him sir!' Okay, I''ll just call him Love then.

This is only the latest of international honors he's been deservingly getting for all his humanitarian work and artistic achievements, which include the Legion d'Honneur from France and the Order of Liberty from Portugal.

However, the knighthood doesn't offer Bono full rights and privileges of a British knight, including the title of 'sir', as he is not a citizen. Not that anyone really cares, he's probably far more honorable than half of all those other Sirs.

Ten years from now, maybe even less, I expect him to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Because hell yeah, he should!

Read here the full story of his transformation into Sir Bono.

The Pope: Bob Dylan A 'Prophet'...

The wrong kind that is. Still I think Bob Dylan should take this declaration as a compliment.

In my opinion, pissing off this Pope for doing something you believe to be right and true is a genuine achievement.

Anyway, not only does this Pope is attempting to create controversy, which may or may not spell sales for his book, he's struggling to stay relevant among his flock by continually using his predecessor's name.

His new book, "John Paul II, My Beloved Predecessor," is mostly a reflection on John Paul's personality and his religious writings. Dude, why not write down your own reflections instead? You're the Pope, you can have any publisher at your calling.

I know why. Because no one cares!

It was in this book that Papa Ratzi declared Dylan and his fellow gang of music hoodlums as false prophets.

In the first place, artists like Dylan don't put themselves so high up in the pedestal, much more call themselves a prophet. Well, Bono maybe. But even he admits to having great delusions of grandeur.
