Hmm, ditto to working on the War album. Hmm Bono would probably have celebrated Ali's birthday the day before I was born.
If you know Ali's birthday, you know mine

*sits in the corner with the old folks*
Larry got his very first drum kit; the same year, his youngest sister Mary died.
Edge had piano lessons and didn't like school.
Adam wasn't being beaten with a gym shoe anymore at school because it "was simply doing no good" and hadn't yet picked up an instrument.
Bono's mother Iris was still alive; he was seemingly at the top of his game, at a new school called Mount Temple where one's religion didn't matter so much as one's abilities....

bono was born 10 days ahead of me. i was born on the 25th of may. we were born during very interesting, tumultous times...
both in the western world and in the east. while the west was seeing the names of jfk, martin luther, elvis, the beatles, us here in asia were surrounded by the likes of mao, ho chi minh, and a future dictator was making waves in our own philippine senate. ferdinand marcos that is. maybe the things happening around us
at that time had instilled significant values and political and historical insights for both bono and me. interesting no?

March 12, 1986 - U2 were coming off a promo show at RTE2 Studios in Dublin on January 30, and they played Womanfish, Trip Through Your Wires, and Knocking on Heaven's Door. They were probably writing the Joshua Tree at the time and also were gearing up for the Conspiracy of Hope tour to begin in June.

... so they were rehearsing for the pre-War tour I guess!
I'm at the replies from the ppl at the same age as the band - you all have a great sense of humor! 
Yes, I'll get the best birthday present ever this year!

Ok, I was born on August 25th 1983.....just a couple days after the did a show in Norway during the War Tour.
Probably also starting to write UF too...cause I was born in Chicago...and they came to Chicago in May of 83...and so on and so forth.

What a neat thread!
March 31, 1974...so no U2 yet. And only six months to go until Bono's life changes forever, making him into the person he is today.

In my case, when I was born, some of the U2 members were learning to talk, while others were being the typical bratty toddlers.
