Those pictures with Clinton are hilarious. And Edge looks so good dressed up.
That must have been a fun evening -- you have to figure the wine and the food were great, given the audience!

Edge in that sparkly suit = Dream Date Edge

I think Edge should wear a suit all the time. Man he looks fab.
Would it have killed some of the younger guys like Jimmy Fallon and Josh Hartnett to, I don't know, bathe, comb their hair, tuck in their shirts. Jeez, kids, pull it together. Seeing those boys next to dashing men like Bowie and Edge makes adulthood look all the more appealing (and the sad thing is those two boys really aren't that young at all, they truly should know better).

Music Rising has a press release on the auction results. Looks like some of the pirces we heard earlier have changed slightly but it's still an amazing sum of money collected for such an awesome cause. Oh, and if you're in the Biloxi area, stop by the Hard Rock soon to see Edge's signed Music Rising Epiphone.
The Edge's Gibson Les Paul Among Highlights at Historic "Icons of Music" Sale in New York Which Raised $2.5 million - 23.04.2007
The "Icons of Music," auction held Saturday, April 21, 2007 in New York to benefit Music Rising, a campaign co-founded by U2's The Edge, raised $2.5 million. Julien's Auctions conducted the sale and bidders from around the world paid record prices for some of the most iconic rock memorabilia ever offered to the public. Music Rising, administered by the Gibson Foundation, was launched in 2005 and has since won numerous awards. To date the campaign has aided more than 2,400 professional musicians and more than 20,000 students and parishioners of the Gulf Coast region.
The Edge's beloved 1975 cream Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar which was played on every U2 tour since 1985, sold for a record $240,000. His Gibson ES-295 Archtop guitar brought $105,000 and Bono's signed Irish Falcon Gretsch guitar brought $187,500. The auction marked the first time such a wide selection of U2 memorabilia was available to collectors.
Among the more than 200 items sold were former President Bill Clinton's saxophone ($54,000), a pair of John Lennon's round, blue-tinted sunglasses ($30,000), Edge's Ethiopian necklace worn in "The Fly" video ($27,000), Bono's Armani sunglasses and signed case ($24,000), Adam Clayton's studio played bass ($23,000), Larry Mullen's Tom drum used on the Vertigo tour ($19,000), Paul McCartney's hand-painted and signed Epiphone Texan ($63,000), Kurt Cobain's MTV Award ($40,800), Slash's Signature model signed Gibson guitar ($20,000), The Edge's jacket ($33,000), and a guitar owned by Jimi Hendrix sold for a record $410,000. Other highlights of the auction and results can be viewed on the Juliens Auctions website beginning Monday, April 23,2007 at www.juliensauctions.com. The final amount going to the charity will be tallied up, with some items having the total selling price going to Music Rising, and other items designated a portion of the proceeds to the charity.
Supermodel and actress Christy Turlington co-hosted the event which opened with "The Saints Are Coming" video, followed by a special performance by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band straight from New Orleans. Before the paddles went up, The Edge welcomed the crowd and later was the recipient of a special donation by the Hard Rock New York, in exchange for a Music Rising Epiphone guitar signed by The Edge, which will be displayed as a sign of hope in the Biloxi, Mississippi Hard Rock location. The auction ran for several hours as bidders from around the world were vying for a piece of musical history either by phone, online or on site. The night ended with a special closing performance by legendary musician Allen Toussaint, which was standing room only.
