U2 mentions

[adamswildhoney]

So I was in Lit class, half listening to poetry/song presentation when the last speaker put her song on and at the very end it mentioned "BONO" I bolted up right and started listening to her presentation but she didnt mention why bono name was in there.

So has this happen to you guys saw a mention of Bono or one of the others or the whole band, in something you wouldnt expect them to be mentioned??

 

[FallingStar]

yeah that happens often. In english class my teacher is used to start the Friday lessons with 'thank god it's friday....' Well...this is..


Or last time we watched a dvd about America's hostory, the spy plane was mentioned and EVERYbody turned and looked at me!


Hmmm.....this wasn't what you actually wanted to hear, lmao...*thinks*....ISHFWILF was in my English book last year, in the poems' section....

okay, that's all I can think of.

ISHFWILF was in my English book last year, in the poems' section....

That's pretty impressive. How many popular songs are put into schoolbooks?

 

[FallingStar]

Yeah, it's been really great. And that was the only song between poems by Dickens and Wilde I think.

One of my local papers has an entertainment section called "the Edge"

That doesn't really qualify, but it makes me think of every time

When I was going in High School, in my English book of the last semester had an example of a e-mail to translate, in the e-mail was saying that someone had been present at a U2 concert

in Spanish, "Bono" is a very common word

Really? Wow, that's cool.

Um...let's see...when I was taking geometry, anytime my teacher started talking about the edge of shapes and stuff I couldn't help but get a small smile on my face. .

And then there was that "Braceface" episode where U2 was mentioned at the very end...I hadn't been paying much attention to the show until that part (and I subsequently taped that episode the next time it was on......).

And there was the time back when I still lived in Iowa when my family had gone to...our old town, I think it was...and on our way there we passed by a bar in a town, and the bar was called Dublin's. .

That's all I can think of right now.

I always giggle when I wish someone a good day upon their exit at work and they reply "you, too."

Haha... I do that too!

My junior year in high school, we had a history project where we had to play a song that was about an event from history and then we had to talk about it. One kid played Sunday Bloody Sunday

Whenever I have to use the MLA format (or whatever it is) for one of my English classes, the website I use for help with it uses ATYCLB as an example

There's this car repair shop in my town called Auto Edge. I smile whenever I pass by and see the sign.

 

[U2zoogirl]

I had an english book with a photo of U2 (in the JT era) in it...

And one of the E! channel commercials, shows Bono in the POP mart tour...

 

[adamswildhoney]

awesome I am glad I am not the only to see these things

Also, in my American History class last year, I remember one part of the book where it mentioned the Joshua Tree National Park. .

Nice!

There's a hair salon near my house that's called Edge. It always strikes me funny, hehe

I'm a secret "U2" -giver when someone tells me to have a nice day. They think I say "you, too" but I really don't ! It makes me smile every time!

I also play the game "Bookworm" and am always finding "Edge" and "Vox" -- both acceptable words in their game, haha.

I was driving to my son's school on Halloween night. We drove by this business - construction or something - and in the middle of the field next to the building is an odd looking truck - lime green with U2 on the door. My son - "ah jeez mommy didja see that? They're everywhere" - he's 5.
