U2 Hit the Hall of Fame
They won't be eligible for induction for another couple of years, but U2 are set to be featured in a major exhibition at Cleveland's Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. The U2 show will take the place of a long-running John Lennon retrospective. The museum plans to represent the band's career from its very beginnings by exhibiting stage outfits and props, instruments and Bono's handwritten lyrics. The museum will likely be tapping into drummer Larry Mullen's huge collection of U2 memorabilia - he's said to have a house full of original t-shirts, backstage passes and gig flyers. The show will open in January or February of next year. During a taping of the Oprah Winfrey show yesterday, which will air on Friday, Bono only mentioned his day job in U2 a few times. Instead the singer focused on activism on behalf of suffering Africans.

Cleveland in Feb. is NOT a good thing!! I used to live there!

Looks like U2 have more stuff in the Hall of Fame than most bands already inducted!

I'm an hour from Cleveland. They think one or more of the band will be at the opening. I was there a month ago and got to touch the Fly and Mirrorball Man. Yuuummm. We should try to hit the opening. Supossed to be in Jan.

 

[Mirrorball Girl]

OHHH man. If one or more band members are there for the opening SO AM I. I was planning to go anyway, and that would be the perfect time. So, um, do they ever do openings on a weekend?

I'm in the Buffalo area, and Cleveland is 4 hours...and it's about 2-3 hours to TO from Buffalo, so 6 or 7 hours give or take.

I want to go too...but I want to get there before the Lennon exhibit closes. Looks like I'll be making some trips to Cleveland. Hehe

 

[Scarletwine]

The Lennon exhibit is excellent. Made me cry reading some of the things he wrote to Yoko. The opening may be on a weekend. I'm sure they will be more definite, closer to the opening. The guy, Jim Henke that runs the RRHoF is good friends with the band from their first tour in America. He worked in NYC then as a writer, maybe for Rolling Stone or something. See ya then.

 

[browneyedgirl]

Cleveland in Jan may not sound so bad....

If a memeber of the band is there for the opening...I will be there...no matter how much snow.....

OK, now I really, really want to go.

Say...Brianne...d'ya think we could make *two* trips to Cleveland in the next few months?

 

[Giant Lemon]

Yay! I'm so excited. My parents are planning on visiting me sometime next semester, and we're going to go to the hall of fame! I can't wait!

 

[Scarletwine]

There are alot of neckid pictures of John & Yoko also, *looks around nervously*.

He has about as much invisible ass as you'd imagine Edge has. ROFLMAO!

[Scarletwine]

Seriously this is a big deal for our men.

Maybe this should move to gatherings, but I think we should plan to be there for the opening for our band.
I'll be there for sure.
