Yes, I have met Bono.
In 1993 U2 were in town for Zoo TV. My friend and I waited for them at soundcheck and Bono stopped his car and met about 20 or so fans waiting. My friend had the presence of mind thankfully to ask him for a photo so we got either side of him and my then boyfriend took it. I was so blown out by how "petite" Bono is and that he had the same freckles in real life and wow, did I go gaga!
Standing there next to him, with my arm around his waist,
I was so overcome with shyness/embarassment/I don't know (all these people were watching me being snapped with Bono) that I didn't know what to say and said the next few STUPID words "This must all be so tiresome for you". He turned to look me at me, I could see those baby blues through the flyshades staring at me
and he replied "oh no, I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it". I just thought "OH MY GOD, I've waited 12 years and I've offended him!!!!!!"
And that was it, he went off to meet and talk and sign autographs for all the other fans, my friend got an autograph on her thigh of her jeans
(I couldn't, I was wearing all black, just like Bono
) and he didn't say another word to me!
One good thing though, after we had our picture, Bono said no to any more individual pics, so lucky we were the only ones!!!!!
The next week my boyfriend and I were in Sydney, saw the first show which Adam missed for "medical" reasons, and hung out at U2's hotel for 2 days. When they left Sydney the final morning, I was sitting on a step across the road from the hotel and Bono waved at me as his car went by! Pathetic but true!!!!
