    Project RED is not about the absolute dollar value raised. Raising a large absolute dollar figure is not the goal here. The goal is to provide impoverished countries with an economic solution to poverty. By working and producing these clothes (for instance, GAP RED products were produced in...

    14th September Toronto - Air Canada Centre

    In another thread, angelordevil mentioned that Bono talked about an African phrase during the show. I had told Bono a phrase in Swahili on Sunday that translated to "drop by drop, you can fill up a river." I was wondering if that's the phrase that he spoke about. Does anyone know? If it's...

    Pictures from September 11th?

    Does anyone have any pictures from September 11th outside the ACC when Bono opened his car window to briefly talk to the fans? He was leaving the stadium after rehearsal around 11:30 pm. I briefly got to speak to him - I told him a phrase in Swahili that I had told him back in LA about 5...

    (04-24-2005) World Leader Pretend -- Dallas Observer*

    I'm not trying to bash on you and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but it seems that a lot of your posts (or at least, recent posts) tend to be anti-Bono and anti-U2. Why? To be honest, you sound quite bitter. I'm not sure about what, though. I read the following quote on another board...

    Canadians in the House!?!

    Richmond Hill here (suburb 20 minutes north of downtown Toronto). I saw U2 in Anaheim on April 1st and in Los Angeles on April 5th. I got into the ellipse at the L.A. show and was front row. Also had the good fortune of meeting Bono and The Edge before the show.
