Heh -- I had a dream in November that I was walking along out of a restaurant and saw Bono and Edge, and at first I walked to the side of Edge, put my arms on his neck and he just said nothing and lifted my arms away from his neck right away.
Oh yes, and in answer to the original question.. I'd pick Bono, and probably ask for a hug first, and then ask some meanings behind songs, then say how much I love U2.
------------------
"Don't call me Shirley." - Larry
"I was drunk, high on him, a shrinking, shadowboxing dwarf following in his foosteps...badly...STARSTRUCK.." - Bono, on meeting Frank Sinatra for the first time
"Bono? Bono is going to tie ropes around my neck? Wait a minute.." - Edge, when shooting the 'Numb' video

Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
Ok, of course it would be with Larry and I would say: Can you pleeeeeeeeeease pleeeeeeeease say "It's a musical journey, Cristy" for me? and then i'd record that...then I'd ask for a Hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then I'd ask him to marry me

Awww, what a fun question.
Bono.
After I stopped gasping... I think all he'd have to do is smile like he does, and I'd be okay. Then I hope I could say something about how it takes a big heart and a big soul to do what he does, and he shows me what's possible in my own life. (Really, I've thought on it so much, I might even have the presence of mind to say it to him -- alone, at least.) And then I'd thank him to the stars...
And then I'd leave the room, and cry. *shaky sigh*
Funny, when I try to imagine if it was one of the other guys, I can only think to stare.
Maybe, Bono bein' the "word guy," I've been kinda conversing with him for years. And we know he likes to talk.
The others...[look out, she's off again --]
Edge's quiet, omnivorous intellect intimidates me, and I'd fear disturbing him. *L*
Larry's years of no-bullshit grimacing onstage have done their job: I don't wanna bug him.
Adam, whom I've loved and *ahem* lusted after, has become this steady, battle-wise, survivor... see, I get just choked up with admiration for him, for kicking all the shit ten years ago. For making his peace with the demons that ALWAYS lie in wait behind the "medication," for choosing the band, for choosing life... For demonstrating professionally and personally, by his bond with these three avowed believers, what his heart is made of... yet, I could say none of that, because even though it's on the public record, it's too personal. It isn't my place to bring up those things, and yet I think I'd get teary just meeting his eyes. For all that U2 has given me, yes, I hope I could sputter a thank you to him. To all of them, for letting such big music speak through them.
Ah, but shite: where would ya start, really??

Starr, I would just hope that I could have an experience similar to yours. I mean, you pretty much said everything I would say (to Bono of course)...
Thanks for all the great tunes and great fun, for introducing me to ideas and to people I never would have known. Tell your wife she's a saint and thanks for sharing you with us.
Keep on working for the things that are important to you, you really are an inspiration.
Peace
Oh and PS thanks for giving my kids something to listen to besides N'Sync.

I can't imagine what I would say for five minutes.
When I finally got the chance to meet Bono last April, after 12 years of going to concerts, I didn't really have anything in mind except maybe an autograph or a picture, but 30 seconds before he got to me in the line I made up my mind that... no I wouldn't bother him with either one and I would just say Thank You.
We held hands and I just looked in to his eyes and said thankyouthankyouthankyou....
I think I stopped after three. After he went to the next person in line, I had to try VERY hard NOT to CRY .... my eyes did get all watery tho.
It was just so unbelievable to me to be standing that close to him after so many close calls in the past. I had given him a rose with a note attatched at a LoveTown concert and he read the note and gave the rose back to me, but I really didn't count that as a meeting. Then every other time after that he had always just left or the band wouldn't come out at all. I was always so close but so far away

Uhm you know let's see I don't want to, wouldn't try to, and if given the chance wouldn't be able to carry it out, but the thought of it is amusing.
LMAO been there done that, so I guess that answers your 5 min. questions. Actually I had no voice that night so it wasn't fair, I couldn't even say thank though I tried really hard (LA 11/13/01).
Uhm if given another fair 5 mins. I'd ask Bono when they plan on going back to Brasil and he'd probably talk for the remainding of the time with any luck we'd start talking about how beautiful the country is and I'd cheat my way past the time limit. Of course I wouldn't let him get away w/o letting me say thanks.

I'd go up to Bono, put my arms around him and ask him to dance....or maybe that's backwards. Mayeb I'd ask him to dance then put my arms around him...that's more legal. Then, while dancing (even if there was no music) I'd just say "Thank you so much for changing my life. You saved my soul. Your music means so much to me. You're an inspiration and my hero. when I grow up, I want to be just like you." Or something to that effect.
Then I'd just give him a big kiss on the cheek and whipser "Thank you" again.
