Bono Confesses All Re. The Grammys

[Gina Marie]

-Is he just kidding? Probably not...that explains the Britney kiss, I guess

March 2, 2002
From The Daily Star:

BOOZE SORRY NOW. . .

BONO has come clean and apologised for his on-stage rants at the
Grammys - saying vodka was to blame.

Yesterday, I told you how Grammy bosses were forced to drown out the
Irish rocker with loud music after he rambled on for ages while U2 picked
up four gongs. Now I can reveal that the bottle Bono was clutching on stage
was not water but neat vodka.

The singer, who claims his band is the "biggest in the world", admitted:
"Yo u know those little bottles of water we were drinking on stage? They
were vodka.

"Sorry about the lecture.

You win a few Grammys, you think you're very interesting."

But speaking backstage, Bono continued to berate the press with his worthy
thoughts, including rambles about America and the September 11 terrorist
attacks.

Is this for real, if it is it's funny, because several people I know bugged me about that, saying he was drunk and that they bet the 'water' in those bottles was vodka!

 

[chels82]

He did seem kinda tipsy, his acceptance speeches were a bit disjointed. The scary thing, was I understood what he was talking about.

Isn't the Daily Star a tabloid?

 

[Foadie]

Hmmm...I agree something was a little "off", but still, Bono's responsible enough not to drink then.....or is he?

He has to sit through all those hours of mostly crap somehow.

Me too...I guess it's because we tend to "Become Bono on people"

At least the author made up for it at the end...Bono's certainly are some worthy thoughts!

Totally. And with N'Sync performing looking like a bunch of telephone operators in a call center, you WOULD need that vodka.

This explains all the drunken Edgeplay....

Hey NO WONDER ADAM TALKED!!!!

Plus, he probably was able to get it out of his system. He wasn't in his seat for sometime, wasn't he?

 

[daisybean]

I'd be driven to drink too if I had to sit through such torture.....

I think we were the lucky ones, we could switch channels.... our poor guys had to be subjected to it, with no way out.

LOL at drunken Edgeplay, Mona...

But dudes. I have no problem believing that Bono was tipsy. Makes perfect sense.

But that comment about vodka in the bottles is totally a joke! It's just like on the MuchMusic interview when he declared they were all gay with a straight face. (Unless that wasn't a joke...)

I have no trouble believing Bono may have been tipsy.. but carrying around Vodka at the grammys? Isnt that a bit extreme? LOL.

Well....

And If I believe everything that fanfic.net tells me -- and I do--......lol

Take the mic, Edge.....take it YEAH take it....

.....notthatthere'sanythingwrongwiththat

 

[DML]

Ug...If he was drinking vodka, I sure hope it wasn't STRAIGHT. I wouldn't have been able to walk up to the stage by the time they got the Record of the Year. lol, but do you REALLY think Ali would LET him do it? LOL @ Ali! Laying down the power, that's my girl! Unless of course she was drinkin too...Please, that is what we need pics of them, U2 passin the vodka bottle around.

[MissVelvetDress_75]

that is interesting. my sister asked me today if I thought if he was drunk? She thought he was very full of himself during the Grammy's. I just told her that I thought that he was being Bono.

It is. And it's not just any old tabloid, it's a British tabloid so about ten times more sensational and inaccurate than your average sensational and inaccurate tabloid.

But vodka in a water bottle? I did that when I was forced to be in a choir in school. Nice idea

 

[mbi16]

He seemed fine later that night, then again it was at least 4 hours later before I saw him (long story I'll share after it sinks in).

Long live the lemon!!!

 

[madonna's child]

The source is a tabloid. It's a load of shit. Bono naturally rambles, that's who he is.

Do you think any drunk man could have sang Walk On so perfectly?

The Irish been coming here for years. Feels like they own the place.
