    The University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia has invited Bono to deliver their commencement address on May 17. At the ceremony, Bono will also have the honour of becoming Dr. Bono, as the University plans to award him with a honourary Doctor Of Law degree at the ceremony.

    It's a bewdiful day!

    Cheers,

    George

    The tag line for this was "honorary PhD". Am I right in thinking that Bing Crosby was the last honorary PhD from an accredited American university? Now, they give the LL.D. or D.H.L. instead?
