Thank You Ali for "Please" on the 3rd leg.:-)

[NicaMom]

From Rollinstone interview with bono:
"I got a call from Ali, my wife, the other day. She was just trying to get rid of stuff at home and found a videotape of us on the MTV Video Music Awards a few years ago in New York doing the song "Please." She said she thought it was one of our worst performances but told me to go back and listen to the song. I put it on and I couldn't believe what I heard. ["September, streets capsizing/Spilling over down the drain/Shards of glass splinters like rain/But you could only feel your own pain . . . October, talk getting nowhere/November, December; remember/We just started again."] It's essentially about fundamentalism, political or religious. Religious fundamentalism is where you get to shrink God; you remake God in your own image, as opposed to the other way around. It gave me a bit of a fright, and we're going to put it back into our show."

You know I love the way they've been playing it accoustic...it sounds just so beautiful, moving, just lovely...I never thought I would hear this song accoustic much less ever again really, but I love it

It's my man's favourite song too

Meeting Larry:
*MG shows Larry poster*
*Larry reads poster*
*Larry smiles and says "Thank you that's very nice of you"*
*Larry signs paper, shakes MG's hand*
*MG almost dies then sees tearaway pants and gets bad ideas*

Wierd! I always felt that was one of their best TV performances. Just a few days after Diana's death and all, it was very powerful.
