I Hear Next Year She's Going to Knight Chuck D., because, God Help Her, Elizabeth Loves the Phat Beats
U2 singer Bono is to be knighted by the Queen in the New Year.
The frontman will be honoured for his humanitarian work, which along with Bob Geldof included organising Live 8 in 2005, and his services to the music industry.
The 46-year-old will receive the award at a ceremony to be conducted by British ambassador David Reddaway in Dublin.
Despite receiving the honour, he will not be awarded with the title of "Sir" because he is not a British national.
I honestly hope someone in the audience at the knighting ceremony holds up a lighter and sways gently as the Queen dubs him. And I hope someone else shouts, "Free Bird!"

Wow, the highest British honor. What with the highest French honor also under his belt, now all he needs is the Presidential Medal of Freedom and he can be a trinity like the father, son and spook.
