Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
I posted this because it mentions the real Bono's whereabouts on Monday night, not to give this dude attention.
Bono not in Dublin working on the new album, must be on a long Christmas break.
At the Airport, the Ghost of Christmas Bono
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He had the look -- the slicked-back hair, the scruff, the sunglasses at night, the earring. He wore one of those red Gap T-shirts that's supposed to help us save Africa.
And when the crowds at the airport recognized him and started begging for autographs and cellphone pics and hugs, he was just as groovy and agreeable about it as you'd expect.
But no, alas, that was not Bono on Southwest's Flight 1324 from LAX to BWI with a layover in Nashville Monday night.
That was not the world-famous rock-star humanitarian schlepping a guitar case out of baggage claim and waiting for his friend Jerry to pick him up.
The real Bono, we can report, was in New York. And the man at the airport?
"I don't know if he actually claimed to be Bono or if he just let people assume he was," fellow traveler Andrea Solarz said. "I did get an autograph for my niece, but it's just a scribble."
