As lunch ended in the ornate United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee conference room, Senator Jesse Helms stood to bid farewell to the guest of honor: U2 singer Bono.<\/p>\n
Bono stayed at the conservative patriarch\u2019s right hand, doing what he could to help. For the photographers, it would have been hard to imagine a stranger image than this delicate dance between the aging senator and the rock superstar.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, I love you,\u201d Helms said softly.<\/p>\n
The singer gave Helms a hug. This private session with a circle of senators during U2\u2019s recent Washington stop wasn\u2019t the first time Bono and Helms have discussed poverty, plagues, charity, and faith. Nor will it be the last. Blest be the ties that bind.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can I say? It\u2019s good to be loved\u2014especially by Jesse Helms,\u201d Bono said two days later, as his campaign for Third World debt relief continued on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n
Bono can quote the book of Leviticus as well as the works of John Lennon. While his star power opens doors, it is his sincere, if often unconventional, Christian faith that creates bonds with cultural conservatives in the Vatican and inside the Beltway. Bono has shared prayers and his sunglasses with Pope John Paul II.<\/p>\n
