A contemporary art auction spearheaded by U2 frontman Bono and British artist Damien Hirst drew a star-studded audience Thursday night and raised more than $42 million for programs battling HIV and AIDS.

Bono wrote the song "Mystery Girl" recorded by Roy Orbison. This clip is about that writing and recording process. A good part of this clip is Bono talking about it. Roy Orbison (and several others) also comment briefly. There is some footage of Roy singing it.

Bono has gone from consummate rock star to passionate advocate for change, gaining audience with the world's leaders and a reputation for being serious--and seriously informed--about African debt relief and the AIDS crisis. In this original GOOD video we present a brief history of Bono.
