on page 31, in their Random Notes section! Go Otto!!
You can see B singing his heart out on stage, the peopl ein the heart reaching to him and the firefighters and policemen standing behind him, holding American and Irish flags.
The article reads as follows:
When U2 returned to New York for three nights at Madison Square Garden in October, they wanted to make it special. And they did- knocking out emotional two-and-a-half-hour sets each night, including classic versions of "Angel of Harlem", "New York", and "I Will Follow" that offered a message of hope and healing. There were surprises, too. One night, Bono invited a fan named Ruth onstage to play acoustic guitar on a cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"; another night, he passed the mike to an audience member who proposed to his girlfriend. Bono also took a minute to give Rolling Stone a shout-out and thanks for championing the band's social issues. Later, he invited twenty members of the New York City Fire Department onstage for a medley of "Peace on Earth" and "Walk On." "They were special shows," says Bono. "It was amazing just to walk onstage and hear that noise. It was like New Yorkers were saying, 'We've had enough. This is how we party.' We felt privileged to be there." And by the way, boys: You don't have to thank us. Thank you.

And everyone needs the music 'cause everyone needs relief.
