Hey cool, Shirley! Thanks for looking all that stuff up. Wow, my birthday is such a historic day in U2 land.

Actually I went to school with a guy who was born on May 10th, and so was his father. Kind of like Bono and his daughter -- hmmm. Something about that date?

Actually, I think that Achtung came out sometime around my birthday (11/17). I know it wasn't the exact date though.
 
LOL Sorry about the triple post. I think everyone is now well-aware of my bday :{

Dec. 5, 1969, am I the oldest person here?

Was that the day of the Irving Plaza show last year? I know it was the day before the Altamont disaster Rolling Stones concert when the Hell's Angels killed the dude on Dec. 6, 1969. SIGH why couldn't I have been born during Woodstock instead?!

mine's September 23, 1977- and there are 2 pretty cool U2 connections!

September 23, 1997: U2 brings PopMart to Sarajevo

U2 performs a complete PopMart concert in Sarajevo, Bosnia, fulfilling a desire Bono first expressed in 1993 during the Zooropa tour of Europe. Bono's voice suffers through the entire show, but the crowd eagerly sings what he cannot. Edge performs an acoustic, solo version of "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" on the b-stage, starting a change in the set list that will continue for the rest of the tour. During the encore, U2 plays "Miss Sarajevo," the song they wrote two years ago for the Passengers project - it is the only time U2 has ever performed this song as a full band. Soldiers from the international NATO peace-keeping force attend the show, which is broadcast live on radio all around the world. The event garners great publicity for U2, the PopMart Tour, and the people of Sarajevo who are trying to reconstruct their city and their lives. In coming weeks, there are reports that U2's concert has raised only $13,500 for the people of Bosnia, a figure U2 defends by explaining that the show wasn't designed to raise money, and that Bono's offer to bring a stripped-down -- and less-expensive -- concert to the city was refused in favor of the full PopMart production.

September 23, 1999: Bono meets the Pope - Pope wears Bono's sunglasses

Bono and other supporters of Jubilee 2000 visit Pope John Paul II at his summer home outside Rome. During the meeting, Bono gives the Pope a book of poetry by the great Irish poet Seamus Haney. But headlines are made when Bono hands the Pope his sunglasses and the Pontiff puts them on, prompting Bono to tell the world's media that John Paul II is the world's "first funky Pontiff."

Mine's 10th May! Same day as Fred Astaire. I think it's also the same day as some rock star guy, I can't for the life of me think who...

It's the best day in the world to have a Birthday, if you ask me

My birthday, if it had one more six somewhere in it, would be quite the evil number. 6/6/84. I like it, though, because it doesn't matter if you write the month or date first, it's gonna be the same.

...And yes I'm only 17. And my name is Lindsay. So anybody who sees me on #U2, I AM NOT A MALE! Okay.
