Raise your hand if you were expecting Zooropa to start after the strings faded out...

Can these guys just be put in charge of the planet?

 

[Rachel D.]

^ No.

Uhm, maybe his wife will be in charge of the planet. Is she running in 2012?

you know they say

My favorite is during One, when Hillary and Chelsea do the hardcore-U2-fan thing, and hold up the '1' finger... shouldn't be a surprise I guess, since they've both been to U2 concerts before, but as a huge Clinton fan/believer, it's an awesome feeling to see how well they all get along and have worked together over the years.

^ No.

Hehe. I suppose in a way they kind of already are: Obama is a dyed-in-the-wool Clintonism follower, and U2 is still the biggest artistic force on the planet.

On Clinton's Facebook page, which posted the photo above of him and Bono, there's the comment from an end user, 'thank u bill clinton from kosovo, we love u, u saved us'

The only problem with Bono and Edge's performance, was the boneheaded mistake of not playing Angel of Harlem. It's only BILL CLINTON'S FAVORITE U2 SONG, and the Clinton Global Initiative is only HEADQUARTERED IN HARLEM. C'mon, Bono!! *snaps fingers impatiently*

Hillary was crying during One.

Bono is happy because for once he's taller than Bill

Friends! I couldn't find a review I liked, so I finally got around to writing one, based on watching the footage and listening to the show.
