hmm. . . we'll call this one a "typo"
madonna's child said:On a related morbid note, one of my favorite parts in Flanagan's book is when he and Bono are out walking late at night and Bono is drunk and singing the theme song from the Monkees. Bono stumbles into the street and Bill grabs Bono just in time to prevent Bono form getting hit by a car. Bill goes on to comment that if he hadn't saved Bono, he would forever have to tell people that Bono's last words were "hey, hey, we're the Monkees. people say we monkey around."

MY LUAS ESCAPE
by FIONA WYNNE
The U2 frontman said a tram almost ploughed into him in Dublin.
But despite his near death experience, he still loves the Luas and
described it as "a beautiful mode of transport'.
Bono told Hotpress magazine: "If I had to choose a method of rapid
transport to be killed by it would be the Luas.
"The job of art is to chase ugliness away. Let's start with the
streets. Cars are ugly. Buses are ugly. The Luas is beautiful."
This isn't the first time Ireland's most famous son has come face to
face with death by transport vehicle.
Last month he was almost knocked down by a taxi driver as he crossed
Lansdowne Road.

don't worry. Adam's around . i found this some time ago:
from Susan Black's "Bono: In His Own Words" to describing one moment which occurred in December of 1987
"There was a night in L.A. in the early part of the (Joshua Tree) tour when we had a death threat that the police were taking very seriously indeed. (The) cops came up to us just before we were about to go on and said...he was coming tonight! (We are) onstage and I’m singing 'Pride' thinking, 'If someone is going to do it it will be during this number.' So I crouched down on the stage, shut my eyes and for a moment the thought of this death threat crossed my mind. When I looked up I just saw Adam standing over me, between me and the crowd. It was a good, good moment."
