Did you happen to subscribe to the old Propaganda, and echange snail letters with 2 people..a girl named Emily B. from Connecticut, and one named Tina a bit older, from New York? we were all three big Live fans as well, and shared tour diaries? And you told me a story, right during Popmart, of Bono's,,um..reaction during a show where he sang "pride"? And Ed Kowalski and the guys stared at you during one of their soundchecks? And you were in a journalism program at colege when we lost contact right bwfore Elevation.
You sent me a picture and I told you you looked remarkably like Ali.
IF this is you..SON OF A GUN. I'd love to get back in touch!
banjo said:Yo Mel, Why did he pull you back into your seat. I mean that what he did right??? He actually pulled you back, and said nothing?? Weird. What did he mean by it all???
Teta040 said:I actually have a theory, Melpop.
*ahem*
Your visit 2 years later, or whatever the time length was, must have astonished him and have been a singular ocurrence for him. It must have worked magical wonders on his male ego that day. (If his male ego needed any more..um, pumping up. His regular ego, we all know about.)
("WOW. We did nothing but what we did, and only for a few moments, yet whatever lovers she may have had in all this time, what I did to her was still special enough that she had to come back and ask for more. I wonder if she's ever done this with any other of her old flames. I'm better than I thought!")
When he grabbed you and pulled you back, and burned you with his eyes, in the heat of the inflated male egotism of the moment, or whatever he must have been feeling when he knew who you were, he must have been trying to "imprint" you with his eyes, so you'd never forget this moment...or to will you to have you come back for even more.....(a male ego thing!) that, or it was just a magical form of goodbye. You know, "I've shared something with you that I haven't with any other fan" (can we hope, Mel?) "and now it must be goodbye." Who knows maybe he's done this type of stuff with Ali just before a long parting. Maybe he "burns" her with his eyes, before he turns to walk away. All he can do, in public--the FINAL goodbye, before we meet again.When you're in front of the kids, it's all you can do. I've had a man do this to me.
Only, of course, there won't be an "again" for you, being just a fan.
(Geez, I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it. If only this were possible with Edge...but of course it isn't.... )

He used to do that to me all the freaken time... Back in August of 1992 -- this is after having met him the first time in March of that same year -- I had hung out nearly every day at their damn hotel in Boston & one late night -- must've been round 1 am or so -- he came out to greet only a handful of us crazy all-nighter fans and he chatted with a couple gals, signing & doing pics and when he got to me I, oh I can't recall what all I said, most likely something akin to "Great show tonight, Bono!" and he just stood there and stared and I was like, Oh not again... Eeek. His gaze, under the soft yellowish lighting from the hotel, pierced my soul and I got kinda nervous, but then he just grabbed hold of my hand and leaned forward, sort of resting against this railing the hotel security had put up. Well, for some reason his holding my hand just completely calmed me & I started rambling on about art, politics, going to college, life, advice, and so on... Well, we just ended up chatting for like, I think about 30 minutes or so... 'Twas wonderful... He's such a sweet man.
Delphine said:the video of you dry humping Bono on stage?
Delphine said:I think he did it because he wanted you! He wanted more kisses with you. We all love Bono and I was told by many cab drivers in Dublin that he is not faithful to Ali. Sad but true but lucky for all of us! Anyway, he pulled you back to see if you would make another move. You should have hoped on him!
alibee said:For Gods sake.
It is so obvious that Paul Hewson is so in love with his wife, and he appreciates what luck he has had in meeting her, and having healthy children together. If anyone believes that he cheated on Ali, or did this that or the other,from a Dublin taxi driver, well cop the fuck on for heavens sake.
As u2girl1978 says What the Flip!?"?!?
bono is bono, he is human, he is a husband and a father, and from the word around Dublin, he is good at both those jobs, or at least, as good as any ordinary guy who is not a millionaire, so please do your brain a favour and be realistic, do not listen to random rumours from taxi drivers in Dublin.
thanks.
