Stuck in the 80's!
Here is my pic of Bono hugging the flag in Atlanta. I was standing next to the guy whose flag he took. I think it came out cool because of the weird lights.

Everyone please post your flag pics too!
 
Oh WOW GHG, I've wanted a thread like this for a while but just haven't had time to start it. We post a lot of pics of his outer beauty (though too much is never enough

); these are great pic of his inner beauty. ::swoon::

Can I ask what you all think of reviewers, etc, who say the gesture is canned and insincere? I remember reading that...

Okay, okay, back to my essay....

Hey, when i went to the St.Louis show a few weeks ago Bono picked a flag up from somebody in the audience and he slow danced with the flag for the rest of the song! I need to go find some pics of this...**frantically goes to the web address box nd types www.google.com...oh c'mon load faster LOAD FASTER!!!!**
 
Now- is he sincere? I think he is. If he weren't he wouldn't even bother. If he hated America and all it stands for he would not even make a gesture with the flag. Sure it may have become part of the 'act' but so what? When he bent down and took the guy's flag, when he hugged it, and when he bent back down, glowing with light and handed it back, it was AWESOME! His face looked so sad and sympathetic and emotional. He was right up in the guy's face, and mine too since I was next to him! The guy extended his hand and Bono took it and held it and shook it! I wish I had stuck my hand out too! After he made another lap, he put his hands together as in prayer, bowed in front of the guy and mouthed 'thank you!' The guy yelled out "Thank you Bono!" It was an incredible moment, I don't care what anyone who knocks this gesture says.
 
ok, that was the 5 millionth time i've tried to post a pic...can somebody please tell me how to post one?? before i go insane and start ripping keys of people's keyboards lol
 
Bono's Babe- you have to right click on the pic, then click properties,then copy and paste the URL addy here with the tags around it. Good luck. PS- Geocites and tripod will not post here.

*Sigh* I love this guy. He's too awesome for words.
 
I love all those flag-hugging pics, so sweet!
Here's one I took at LA 11/12, even though it came out a little dark-

I have to add this one of him when he first took off his shades- *WOW*


Forget him taking off the sunglasses ... it looks like we have another elevation sighting in the pantal region.

You who were there must know that he took off his shades at the end of UTEOTW, and that DURING UTEOTW he had problems with a certain floozie who refused to detach herself from him until she was drug upon the stage, her tube top drooping low. Because of this, the bullfight did not happen which sucked. I HATE HER!! Crzy didn't you say it happened near you and he was mad? GGGRRR, so now to see he is elevated and to know it was because of that uh, person, makes me furious!
 
I have to tell you all, being jealous of a flag is a new experience for me.

Wow Bono....

You don't have to be Henry Kissenger to figure out that a more prosperous world is a more secure world; a more educated world is a more tolerant world; and a more healthy world is a more stable world, and I think that would be a fitting memorial to those who lost their lives on Sept. 11th. ~Bono on Leno, Thanksgiving 2001
 
Beautiful pics! I believe he is very sincere and hugging the flag was a cute and darling thing to do. If fans didn't hold one up he wouldn't be able to put it in the act. I think once people knew he held the flag the first time, they started bringing them and he didn't let them down. It was a nice thing to do. I love it!

Not only must I wear my camo hat at all times as a signal to Tony....but I must wear a flag to be cuddled. *sigh*
