Excellent. Thank you muchly.

figures...and justin timberlake inducting the O'Jays? that is just bizarre...

 

[trish0860]

Yea, that is kinda bizarre. What's even more bizarre is that I remember their big hit "Love Train".

God, it sucks to get old.

The Cleveland blogger thought Justin did a better job than expected with his induction speech. It does seem like an odd choice, but he seems to have been respectful and brief in his comments. Good for him.

And I remember "Love Train" too! It's on the "Hitch" soundtrack, which also has what will be the song of the summer on it, Amerie's "1 Thing."

 

[trish0860]

I am 3000 miles away from the ceremony and I'm sitting here with ants in my pants just waitin for it to be U2's turn!

 

[starsgoblue]

I'm so proud of them! My special boys...

 

[labell]

*sigh* bono is beautiful and all but there are three other memebers floatin' around somewhere.

 

[U2Girl1978]

It makes me sad for some reason

Maybe they are hiding in the men's washroom..............

 

[trish0860]

There will be more pictures of all of them when it's their turn.

Don't be sad. They've earned this whether they believe it or not. This is not the end for them, they have alot more songs to write and record and perform.

*checks*

nope.

 

[U2Girl1978]

Vh1 is just going to show highlights of the show...

 

[dazzledbylight]

[ruffian]

did you see the setlist One4U2 posted just below this thread? She got the info outside the Waldorf--Pride, UTEOTW, and Veritgo. Wow. Strangeness.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I hope so...

It just makes me sad that I discovered their music this late in life. I wish I had gotten into them earlier. *meh*

At least I am seeing them in concerts this time.

 

[Zootomic]

I agree with the feeling old. I distinctly remember watching one of the first induction ceremonies in the late eighties and wondering if U2 would get in someday and thinking that if they did it wouldn't be for a very long time. Well, that 'very long time' sure went by fast!

 

[Diane L]

I'm so proud of them! My special boys...

They ARE so special! I can't possibly love this band more than I do.

It feels strange not being able to watch the ceremony live.



U2 fans

 

[ruffian]

It does feel strange not to be able to see it live...and it also feels strange to realize they've been at it for 25 years! (and that I've been around long enough to have followed them most of that time...sheesh...where's my walker??)

 

[U2Girl1978]

I really do hope that there is more to come after this tour...

 

[VintagePunk]

I really, really, really hope that a text version of Bruce's induction speech gets posted online somewhere tonight.

No kidding! But how great is it to see how far they've come and all they've accomplished? And we got to grow up with them?

I just discovered them also....

In the context of passing time, the blog guy mentioned remembering the Pretender's 1979 album. I have that album. *sigh* I'm excited tonight for them too. Chrissie Hynde kicks ass. Take that Avril Lavigne, you wannabe!

 

[kellyahern]

before people start yelling at me that these are just more Bono pics, you can see Adam sitting next to Jordan, so there

 

[ruffian]

I'd be any amount of money this is *not* their last album...no worries

Kelly, thanks for the pics!
