Ever since the 1970s, John Prine has become a songwriter and guitarist with a promising career. At the age of 14, he learned to play guitar and attended Folk’s Old Town School in Chicago. He took a break from music after eighteen and worked in West Germany as part of the Army. He went back to Chicago, where he worked like a man before the singer Kris Kristofferson discovered him and launched his first Atlantic record. He is renowned for his sarcastic songs about life and public affairs in general.
Bono – $700 million
Greatest Hits: Sunday, Bloody Sunday
In Dublin, one of the most famous musicians is Bono. He’s the manager of U2, and he produces almost all of the music for U2. He won 22 Grammys with that band. He spoke about his songwriting style at length. He incorporates social and political issues in his music, and his childhood at a religious school also affects his songs. In his earlier albums, he had a rebellious voice, but as he said, he “matured” and began writing about more intimate encounters he shared with U2 members. Ali Stewart, the musician, is married.
