That is really cute Kelly!

I wonder if Eve was there too.
 
I was just listening to the radio and the dj started talking about the event last night. She related one of the stories Bono told about the death threats they received for supporting the MLK holiday during the Joshua tree era. I'm paraphrasing here but she said Bono related a tale of singing one of the songs dedicated to MLK. He shut his eyes and kept singing expecting to hear gunshots, but fortunately there were none and when he finished the song he opened his eyes to see Adam sheilding him.
I had never heard of this story before and I am extremely moved by it.

I can't wait to see the show this weekend.

B might as well just take that shirt off, it's not hiding anything anyway!!


:angel:

I think that Bono and Larry wear shirts as more of an accessory than an item of clothing:wink:

I know, I love that story!!!!!

I had heard it years ago in an interview Bono did - and it always makes me cry :)
 
I found the qoute on the amazing u2 take me higher:D

From the book BONO IN HIS OWN WORDS:
"There was a night in L.A. in the early part of the tour when we had
a death threat that the police were taking very seriously indeed.
Someone had sent the gun license into the U2 offices and they thought
he had gotten into the venue. All of a sudden there were all these
people on the stage which I really objected to. I never thought that
sort of thing would bother me and, when I went out, it didn't. I
just laughed it off, like The Blues Brothers - 'We're on a mission
from God and we ain't finished yet.' The second night came up and
the cops came up to us just before we were about to go on and said
they'd made a mistake, He was coming tonight!



"Now we get all kinds of racist jibes because we wrote a song for
Martin Luther King, or pinko jibes because we did the Amnesty
International Tour. Wherever you look we're a target for the loony
fringe. So the second night, we're on stage and I'm singing 'Pride'
thinking, 'If someone is going to do it it will be during this number.'
So I crouched down on the stage, shut my eyes and for a moment
the thought of death crossed my mind.
When I looked up I just saw Adam standing over me,
between me and the crowd. It was a good, good moment."

LOL.

Man, the guys do look great, don't they? Holy crud...

I cannot wait until Saturday :D. I'm so proud of these guys...they've earned this honor, no doubt about that :).

Heh, U2's on the radio right now...how appropriate ('tis "Sunday Bloody Sunday").
