Yesterday i was watching 15 years of MTV Europe programme (hoping to catch the guys) and there was a bit about how U2 during Zoo TV would be sponsored by MTV - and they had a competition.
The winner of the competition was somehow connected via satellite to U2's show in Rotterdam (the winner was from England) and he watched the whole show, but not only that, they also showed how Bono talked to him between the show!!!
Also they added some footage of a very happy winner and a girl in tears moved by the whole thing. Then Bono and Larry were shown on the programme, praising MTV for this and how great it was for U2 to have this sort of present for the fans.
Later they talked about MTV awards (more Bono and Larry), but first this presenter was shown, talking about 1994 awards in Berlin and how the studio kept telling her U2 was coming by several times but she never saw them.
Larry then said "It's a funny thing with awards and U2: either they invite us or they -- invite us."
Bono added how they flew from US to Hamburg to Amsterdam just for the show and back for the 1997 awards.
