While I've only had a crush on Bono for almost a couple of years now, I'd always thought he was a pretty nice guy, just from the stuff I'd seen on T.V. I remember watching their "Pop-Up Video" show one day and hearing about all the charities that he and the rest of the band supported, and I admired that. And I also remembered hearing about how during the making of the "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" video, the one lady that Bono kisses was being told by the director to get out of the shoot, and Bono said something like, "Nah, she can stay", or whatever, and I thought that was pretty cool, too.
And I remember reading the People magazine article on him back in 2002 as well, and he seemed pretty interesting (I remember particularly liking the part where his friend was talking about when Bono introduced him to Ali back in school-his friend goes, "I didn't get it. But he adored her". I thought that was so cute).
But yeah, it wasn't until that summer that I started liking him a lot.
Also, like a couple of you have mentioned, I'd always liked U2's music-yeah, I'd just heard the big hits, but I definitely remember hearing them on the radio when I was younger and going, "Oh, I like this song." But I just never really paid much attention beyond that, until 2002 (and, actually, the year before that-heard "Angel Of Harlem" on the radio and fell in love with that song, decided in May of 2002 to put it on a CD along with a few other songs of theirs I liked, and things clicked then). Because I was starting to like Bono, that was one reason why I wanted to watch the Elevation Boston concert on the Fox Family channel, and that concert helped introduce me to the rest of their songs, which I immediately went searching around for to download and listen to. And then I brought The Joshua Tree that July, and the rest was history. .
Now, if I can just get a chance to see U2 in concert...
