Bono photo on a magazine

"It was like a street gang. Humor was the weapon we chose to defend ourselves. Myself and Guggi, we gave each other the names. He gave me the name Bono, I've been known as Bono since I was 14, 15 years old. Guggi had no idea that Bono Vox means good voice or strong voice whatever." - Bono on his youth friends, 2022
