I guess it sounded better for Bono to say the case was stolen by two groupies, rather than he just forgot it. Doesn't sound like he was too concerned about getting it back either. Maybe Adam was right...Bono "lost" the case because his lyrics were shite.

Bono has always been forgetful. He is quite clumsy.

Still it makes for great if not funny U2 history

Geniuses usually are.

I guess I shouldn't feel so bad about constantly forgetting stuff then.
I like this part though.

"U2, who were men barely in their 20s at the time, listened intently to their crew and worked hard to put on a good show, Livingston said.

"It was something to appreciate that these were professionals, these weren't partiers," Graeff said. "Look at the end result."

and this one:

Two band members carried Bibles as they mingled.

That would be consistent with numerous published accounts. According to U2 at the End of the World by Bill Flanagan, band members almost dissolved the group in 1981 because they thought being in a rock band conflicted with their Christianity.
