Okay, so I already posted this in my LJ earlier today, so I apologise to those who've seen it already. Nevertheless, I thought some of you guys might be interested in this little snippet from an interview with Cathleen Falsani recently:

Q: Is there something you could tell our readers that they don't already know about Bono?

A: I was thinking about this. There are three things: He smells really good. Dolce & Gabbana for men, if I'm not mistaken. He is quite fond of corn-beef hash. And that ring he wears [on his pinky] was given to him by Larry, not Ali, and it's a fish. I thought it was a griffin and told him as much and he was adamant, "No. It's a fish. See?" . . . Bono's forever losing things. This was a few years ago, so we could be on yet another incarnation of the ring, but at that point he'd lost it twice already. If I remember what B said correctly, the first time Larry gave it to him in yellow gold and he lost it and Larry had it remade in white gold and Bono lost that one, too, and now he's on to platinum, I think. If memory serves, it looks kind of like a koi wrapped around itself.

Bono's actually mentioned this ring before in a 1997 magazine interview, which I have somewhere on my computer but seem to have misplaced. I actually never made the connection that yes, this is the ring that he wears all the time, but the B/L fangirl in me just squealed.
