Thank You! You have made my day!
So, there I am - up all night long working on this really annoying deadline...and I finally crash early this AM. And I wake up, having to get back to work, and feeling cranky. So I am sitting here with my coffee, and I think "I'll check in at PLEBA first!" And I come upon this thread. Here is my response to it:
May I just say - THANK YOU!!!!!!
And also - YOU GALS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have saved my day and cheered me up hugely, and also helped me to enjoy a good bit of happy non-work time procrastinating and looking at yummy, lovely Bono pix!
Oh my - these are some killer photos! So fantastic!!!!
Y'know, Bono is a man that makes your eyes, heart, brain and HORMONES all veeeeeery happy indeed!
I read some of the remarks, about feeling bad about the thread and being disrespectful to the whole being-pulled-up-on-stage idea, and Bono maybe being horrified if he read the posts.
But I think it's ok - I mean, yeah, the comments are VERY funny and kinda naughty in here at times...and this is also the most respectful and nice gang of fans I have seen on internet threads.
Bono did start the whole more playful, flirty side to the going up on stage on the ZooTV tour. Before that it was all lovely cuddling and hugs and very gentle seeming. With ZooTV, with the more edgy, funny angle, the on-stage antics went along with it - the champagne spraying, the flirtiness, Bono slinking about the stage, ...and it was he who initiated all those infamous camera angle...shall we say "EXTREME Bono close-ups".
For all the tours since, the mood onstage with girls has been somewhere in between, depending on the night and on the people and on the mood. And it has always been really cool.
With all that, I don't think Bono would be mortified. I mean, I am not him. But, I tend to think he'd probably think it was funny - though maybe a little blush-worthy at times.
But that's 'cos this is just how girls talk, y'know That is why I love PLEBA - it feels like sitting around with a big bunch of girlfriends and having coffee or some drinks and chatting away and having a laugh. Sometimes talking about serious stuff, alot of the time being outrageous and funny, and yeah, alot of the time talking about cute guys and sex.
And girls tend to talk at those times exactly like you see here on the thread. And so I think it's really cool and lovely here. And if Bono blushed it would only be in the way ANY guy would when he wandered into the midst of a lively discussion that a bunch of boisterous girls are having about guys and sex and all.
Ok, I really have to go work now. Sigh! Bleah!
But thank you all for the gorgeous photos and really fun conversations, and for cheering up my day!!!!!
Bye for now!
Peace and BonoLove,
