"Some of you might know we nearly weren't going to be able to play live tonight, and we didn't think we were going to be able to play live for the rest of the year.

Live is...where we live. And due to circumstances beyond our control, a lot of our long-suffering fans ended up queuing overnight and didn't get tickets. And I'd just like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the band, to apologize to them."

 

[U2democrat]

ah so that's what he said!

 

[Aardvark747]

Good ol' Lawrence..

 

[Yahweh]

[U2girl]

I actually just copied and posted it from someone else who posted this somewhere else in this forum.

Those words are ...immortal!

King Larry does admit that the fans have been "long suffering." There is no greater admission of fallibility than this. This apology goes beyond to presale fiasco because it was a pretty recent suffering. He talks of a suffering that has been long.

In this Lenten season for the Christians, we know the long-suffering of Jesus up to the events that led to his crucifixion. But after three days, he rose again from the dead to save us all.

To be a U2 fan, you also have to endure suffering. From the long lines in concerts to album recording sessions that seem to take forever -- it does seem the suffering is long. But it never is a suffering in vain. In the end we will all have our own second life and resurrections - whenever we get a new album (oh the joy!) or the attending of a concert (the orgasmic feeling when the screens suddenly turn red to usher in the intro to streets).

So by using the phrase "long-suffering", King Larry synchronizes the band's Christian beliefs through the life of Jesus with his sympathy for the fans through the sacrifices they have endured for U2.

Prince Adam, a long time conossieur of fine speech, was quick to applaud King Larry's speech. Did you see how Prince Adam was clapping his hands after King Larry made his speech? It was a gesture of approval of the wise and poignant words King Larry used.

The vocal version of The Mullen Apology is one of the finest moments in U2's history.

Cheers,
