Whoa, how cool! Man, if that shirt could talk...

In a way, that sort of surprises me about Larry- and in a way it doesn't at all.
It's so sweet, though! I'm very much the same way; I can't bear to throw anything away- everything has sentimental value!

I'm getting a laugh outta that poster that says "The U2s"

"Very strange looking object you have at the end of your stick.." - Bono

"Don't call me Shirley." - Larry

"I was drunk, high on him, a shrinking, shadowboxing dwarf following in his foosteps...badly...STARSTRUCK.." - Bono, on meeting Frank Sinatra for the first time

"Bono? Bono is going to tie ropes around my neck? Wait a minute.." - Edge, when shooting the 'Numb' video

And love is not the easy thing...the only baggage you can bring is all that you can't leave behind.

BONO: FOAD, Lawrence. Just FOAD. (LOL, Mona)

...what's a Bono?
 
While in Cleveland for a stop on the Elevation Tour, all four members of U2
spent several hours at the Hall of Fame. Bono, the band's lead singer,
particularly liked the John Lennon exhibit. After touring the Museum, Bono
stuck around to record a voice-over for the band's "Elevation" video in the
Hall's radio studio. The single is on the soundtrack to the film Tomb
Raider.

( He recorded the "This is evil Bono..." phone call at the
beginning of video.)

The Edge checked out the Hall of Fame's U2 exhibit when the band dropped
by in May. It was the first time the group had seen the exhibit, and they
particularly enjoyed a press release for the Hype (one of U2's early names).
The release was written by manager Charles Clayton - better known as Adam
Clayton, U2's bass player. The Edge, U2's guitarist, also enjoyed the Hall
of Fame wing, as well as exhibits on the Memphis music scene of the Fifties
and Sun Records.


Another article in the magazine by chief curator Jim Henke discusses
how the Hall comes by all its artifacts:

..."I've found for example, that there's usually one member of a band who is
a pack rat, or to put it another way, who has the collector's mentality. For
example, in U2, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. is the collector. From the time U2
first formed (as the Larry Mullen Band) back in a Dublin high school, he has
been stockpiling everything from the first U2 T-shirt (now on exhibit at the
Hall of Fame) to posters, backstage passes, notes from band members, etc.
He virtually has a house full of U2 memorabilia."
