Here it is:

  1. U2 once had a close encounter with Michael, and they've never forgotten it. In 1988 The Joshua Tree had sold fourteen million copies and won the Grammy for album of the year—beating Jackson's Bad. It may have startled Jackson, who did an elaborate production number at the show before the award was announced. (Adam had nipped out to go to the men's room and had to convince the guard on the door to let him back in—they had just called his band's name and he was supposed to be up at the podium.) After that Jackson got curious about U2. He invited them to one of his Madison Square Garden shows and to come backstage to meet him. They went—but when they were introduced to Michael they were startled to find he had a cameraman on hand to film the conversation. That was too weird for U2, who turned around and left.

    When they got back to Dublin they got a message: Michael wanted to send a crew over to follow them around and film them working, playing, presumably eating and sleeping—so he could study them. That spooked our heroes even more.

    Staring at the tabloid headlines now, Bono remembers the first indication that Jackson was interested in U2: over a decade ago there was a big blowup of U2's War album cover on display at the Hollywood Tower Records.

    Word got back to the band that Michael Jackson had asked the store if he could have it when Tower was done with it. (The cover of War is a photo of a little boy, actually Guggi's younger brother.)[/list=1]

yes it sure is, I'll have to re-read it again soon.

Speaking of books, does anyone of you know about the book "Bono, in the name of love" by Mick Wall??
Is it any good, anything new in there worth buying it for?

I wrote quite a bit about that book in the Every Artist is a Cannibal forum. Its original title was Bono: Saint and Sinner, and you can find the discussion under that heading.
It's a very, very bad book. Avoid at all costs!
