Any girl who has BONO GRL liscense plates is automatically bumped into the "freak" status.

My sister had a roommate in college who visited Ireland for the sole purpose of finding Bono . . .

She met Colin Farrel in a bar and asked him where she could find Bono. I guess he was pretty confused.

I made the messy mistake of inviting her and my sister to Wheaton when Bono came on the DATA tour. Cars were chased. Tears were shed.

I am listening to music and was bouncing around the room....My blinds were up and the people in the building next to me were looking right at me.

I bet he was wondering why she didn't want to sleep with him.


I almost cried when I touched the limo as it drove off through the crowd after the concert I was at last tour.

This year...I am determined. I just, I don't know...I just need to see him up close...know for sure that he's real...he is just an amazing person. He's like my MLK... If that makes any sense.




Edited to add: Aww is right.

I understand
People always ask about role models and stuff..I never really had one, that is until Bono (am I weird?)

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

My roommate was in media resources . . . and he was standing five feet away from Bono. He made sure to rub it in my face.

 

[U2democrat]

ouch that sucks.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Thats not very nice!

I rock out when I'm in my car. And the day I loaded HTDAAB on my iPod I was blasting City of Blinding Lights at a red light, with the windows rolled down...and this older couple in the car next to me were just staring at me....so I just leaned out of the window and hollered "Oh you look so beautiful tonight !" as I drove off.

Nope. Not at all. The man changed my life. Changed my heart.

It makes complete sense. I find it weird... when I saw them, I couldn't quite get my head round the fact that they were real - that these four men whose pictures are on my wall and whose music I listen to constantly were so near me. It makes the mind boggle.
I remember my friend and I just wandering the streets of London afterwards saying every minute 'oh my god, we just saw U2' in our own little trancelike state.

 

[U2democrat]

i can see it now...it's 10, 12 years from now and i'm in my office in washington....and in walks bono ready to make his case to me for getting my candidate to support and fund 'X'...

 

[starsgoblue]

I can remember my heart jumping into my throat watching The Leap on LiveAid...I was young but I could see and understand that desire to somehow reach across the distance and share humanity...

And seeing things like this, just "get me".

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

I guess my only true moment of Bono (other than that same Wheaton roommate swiping the American Prayer soundboard for me) was the moment I tried on my orange Popmart Miklis . . .

Actually I looked really stupid and never wore them again

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Nope. Not at all. The man changed my life. Changed my heart.

What annoys me is when people say "we" treat him as a god, but I don't, I mean, he's larger than life (and sexy as hell ), but then he's not, he's just a guy, and he's got such passion, and I dunno...he gives you faith and hope in what a person can do
Ok, shutting up now, enough gushing for one day

 

[U2democrat]

That's just the thing though...he IS just a guy, he's not a god, yet we see him doing amazing things for all of humankind.

Almost enough to make me want to become a politician.....

Goes to show we all have alot of power in our own voices...if we can learn to step up and use 'em.

 

[beau2ifulday]

Better to admire someone like Bono than one of these celebrity figures who seem to be propelled to 'Godlike status' for doing virtually nothing (other than inheriting Daddy's money or acting like a prima donna).

 

[~BrightestStar~]

but

he *is* a SEX god

 

[U2democrat]

some of the guys in my german class make fun of bono (and even call him a jerk) but my german teacher and i always fiercely defend him.

 

[starsgoblue]

No denying that.

 

[U2democrat]

ah, a bono love fest.
