I don't think that we can be sure that they will perform but I hope so.

So, wait because it's not sure at all.
 
Whenever the four guys show up, they ALWAYS perform! How could we doubt?

I think that's what this article is about...how they are going to perform at the Grammies...that's what I got from the title and the first few lines, anyway.

:hyper: Although I think I will be on an airplane while they're performing...who in my house can I trust to set the vcr?
 
Wow, I just saw a commercial for the Grammy's and they did list U2 as a performer (playing Vertigo in the background).

Wow, between the tour announcement on Monday and the Grammies I'm getting overly excited now.
 
Hey, I dont know if anyone has said this...

U2 will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, along with R&B singers The O'Jays, soul balladeer Percy Sledge, the Pretenders and blues guitarist Buddy Guy.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation will hold its induction ceremony March 14 at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan.

Sorry if its old news! I just found it today.
