Tell me about it...talk about pulling the heartstrings.

What really gets me, is here's this famous musician from Ireland, who is probably never going to be directly affected by a hurricane, but he has started this whole project with other people to help .

exactly - plus I don't think I've ever seen him get that emotional

I know...that makes it even more great. He could sit back and do nothing thinking it has no impact on him at all but nope he cares. It's great to see that he and the band pretty much think globally.

 

[arw]

the end of that interview...wow.

 

[bonocomet]

Just finished watching the interview, thanks so much for the link. Wow the end....

What a sweet man.

 

[nurse chrissi]

the end of that interview...wow.

I know - I had tears in my eyes

 

[arw]

I know - I had tears in my eyes

me too.

 

[Edgette]

If anyone figures out how to save this, please let me know. I can't watch it.

 

[nurse chrissi]

God forbid that u2.com would provide a link

 

[sami0201]

I had tears in my eyes after watching that. Edge is so amazing.

 

[Edgette]

God forbid that u2.com would provide a link

I know. I'm hoping the Music Rising site will post them. I can watch the videos there. MSN's player is crap. If it was even Real Player I could watch it.

 

[nurse chrissi]

again - not Edge but

 

[arw]

Now if they would only show a video of Edge signing from yesterday.

 

[europop2005]

no words....its just amazing how much they care....

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Bruuuuuuuce

Between this thread and the Dallas one, PLEBA has been about two steps shy of too much for me to handle this weekend!

 

[Lila64]

again - not Edge but

 

[U2Girl1978]

again - not Edge but

It seems Bruce gets better and better with age.

My first album was by him and I got it when I was in 1st grade.

 

[lauramullen]

Yeah he does. Thanks for the link.

 

[elevation2u]

bruce

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

so it looks like so sign of bono at the jazz fest or at least on stage this weekend....

 

[Edgette]

I don't think Bono was ever there.

 

[Gluey]

I always get so down whenever I read about Bono & the boys popping up in different places, because its NEVER Down Under here in little old NZ, 10 million miles away from all the action of the world....definately going to have to save up for some travel in the future when my kids are older......

 

[Pop Artist]

I don't think Bono was ever there.

I'm beginning to think that too...and maybe the NYC sighting was right. Ah well, guess we'll never know unless Bono shows up in Grand Rapids with an eyepatch.

That's not to say he might not show up next weekend, Dallas to New Orleans is a short hop...maybe an appearance with Dylan?

 

[Val]

Bono and Dylan that would be the coolest, ever!

 

[nurse chrissi]

I hate to tell you guys this but Dylan was this weekend on friday night

 

[one4u2]

I hate to tell you guys this but Dylan was this weekend on friday night

You changed your avatar

 

[Nightsong]

Bruce was awesome! I haven't seen him have that much fun on stage since pre Born in the USA....

Thanks for the link to Edge's performance-he looked so happy and it was so great to see him on stage!

I really thought Bono would join Bruce but sure can't be disappointed with tonight's performance.....Elvis Costello was on with Allen Touissant the set before and they were amazing as well-all the performers have just played their hearts out for New Orleans this weekend!

Driving through the city is heartbreaking and it's really unbelievable the devastation that still exists EIGHT months after Katrina, water marks and spray paint still mark the homes, signs on telephone poles advertise House Gutting with a number to call, debris stiil waiting to be picked up on the streets...hard to believe this is America. Everyone here just kept thanking us for coming, they are putting their all into rebuilding their city...

Anyhow back to PLEBA content, I did see Dallas in the lobby and John held the elevator for me once, but no Bono sightings.....guess I have to wait unitl Friday

 

[Pop Artist]

I hate to tell you guys this but Dylan was this weekend on friday night

Whoops, well, as you can tell I didn't memorize that schedule!
