I was talking to a lady at work yesterday about my trip to Hawaii. I told her the real reason I went was to go to a concert. Of course, she wanted to know who was worth flying to Hawaii to see. When I said U2 she drew a blank. I started naming songs she might know: Streets, One, WOWY, Pride, Vertigo, BD (she thought she MIGHT have heard BD). It was only when I made a comment to my coworker about Bono that she was like, “oh that’s the band with Bono!”. I would have never thought to describe U2 as the band with Bono. I would think you are more likely to know who U2 is than the names of the members. I guess Bonos face is all over the place these days so he is more recognizable, but still, its U2 people come on. I would have never thought of describing U2 as the band with Bono. What is wrong with people?
