This makes 9 I can think of off hand at the moment.

I'll make a list... I'm listening to the one right now where I kind of like the way he says "fucking virgins..."

 

[zuropa_fit]

Zoo did you get your Bono poetry Mp3? I have one I meant to upload then forgot.

I did - thank you.

yeah, I don't have any others except the Oscar Wilde one he did with Gav. I LOVE that one. If you could post the list, that'd be awesome.

 

[GraceRyan]

Wow, I'm new to Bono reading poetry. And that was when my husband was while I was trying to listen - then couldn't figure out why I was glaring at him.

Zooey, it takes me an hour to run 5 miles right now. I just take my time. I'll work on speed later.

 

[AnCatKatie]

Night, everyone! I'm gonna try for more sleep to see if it makes tomorrow more productive/less shite than today

 

[Thora]

I love the one he did about driving on Christmas Eve. I don't have it on this computer any more, but that one was beautiful!

 

[bonocomet]

I did - thank you.

OOH I was looking for that one. Can't find it. If I can't find it after this search I'm on could you upload it?

I'll upload any that you guys need. He sounds like such a wee baby on that Christmas one.

I feel like I know there's another I'm forgetting too. I remember some event Bono was at that he read. Liam Neeson was there too.

 

[TaraCynara]

Ok. I've recently discovered that I love hearing Gavin Friday sing... so does anyone have any suggestions on where to start with him?

Musically, I mean.

I know I'm totally missing one too. I'll have to figure it out.

Should I upload them all? You guys might be able to find them on you tube, but if there are any you can't find let me know.

 

[TaraCynara]

No.

ETA: *was talking about the Peter and the Wolf thing*

 

[zuropa_fit]

I gotta go to bed, but I'll upload the Oscar Wilde one tomorrow.

 

[TaraCynara]

Please upload all you have.... pretty please?

*puppy-dog eyes*

 

[bonocomet]

I found it Zooey thanks. Mine has Larry talking on the end though.

 

[bonocomet]

Okay I'll have to work on it little by little ok? I'm working on my Christmas cards now.

 

[TaraCynara]

Oh, take your time. No hurries on anything, okay?

Thank you, in advance!

 

[bonocomet]

Aha! Found it, Bono read 4 more Yeats pieces in 2007. Gotta find the recordings though.

 

[bonocomet]

Oh and there's another good one of him reading, not poetry, but still

 

[bonocomet]

Tara for now just look up some of those on you tube, because there are some you can watch him reading them.

 

[TaraCynara]

*runs off to youtube*

ETA: oooo, I have both versions of Mother of God... *did not know this; was looking for the a capella version of Mothers Of The Disappeared*

 

[TaraCynara]

I gotta go to bed... all these videos of Bono reading poetry relaxed me way too much.

revolving door tag needs to be added.
Bono must be ALL kinds of fun in them

It gives me chills to see how much better Bono performs when he sings a song for a friend. True friendship.



And Dazz, I know ! Bruce is comming to the pinkpop festival this summer in Holland.
I hate the festival , they have lousy security (as in WAY to uptight*)
but I think I'll just get a single day ticket especially for bruce..


comet , I scored a bunch of stickers becuase of your help with the show times , haha
Thankyou!
