Bruce Springsteen Says He Should've Given Bono Rights to His Song
The Boss presented the Harry Belafonte Voices for Social Justice award to Bono, 66, at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 13, according to PEOPLE. The award recognizes artists who use their platform to promote equality, dignity, and human rights.
Bono revealed he wanted to use "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" in a Gap commercial supporting the RED campaign fighting AIDS. "I said, ‘Bruce, this song ‘Girls in Their Summer Clothes,’ this is like one of the great pop songs ever,'" the U2 lead singer said. "He goes, ‘It's not bad, is it?' I said, ‘Would you think about using it for a commercial like for RED through Gap?' You said, ‘No.'"
Bono and Bobby Shriver started the non-profit organization Red and partnered with brands to raise donations for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. It has raised $800 million, according to the organization's website.
