It's awesome that the biggest band in the world (commercially speaking) renders a tribute to an artist well known for his lack of pretentiousness and down to earth personality.
According to Wikipedia:
"The song pays tribute to Joey Ramone, the lead singer of Ramones who had a strong influence on Bono.[2] During their teenage years, U2 snuck into a Ramones concert,[3] and the experience of watching Joey perform made Bono feel less self-conscious about his own singing.[4]"
