Music Rising Auction

[silvrlvr]

On Principal, you mean?

Seriously, wouldn't it be cool if the guys in the band collectively bought it and gave it back to Edge?

I'm so thrilled by how much money this auction is raising. There's going to be enough to help every church and child in New Orleans (weeps for joy)

Sold for $240k!

Just that I think Edge is an incredible guitar player, as much as I love Bono Edge IS far better. Thats what I meant.

It would be great if they bought it and gave it back!!!!
