Back stage MSG Saturday . To funny . Who do you think was smoken?

U2Byrd · 10-30-2001, 10:29 AM

Purple haze

MARK Green got a dose of the rock-star lifestyle Saturday as he mingled
backstage at the U2 concert at Madison Square Garden. The mayoral
hopeful was trying to find the men's room when a giggling reveler sent him
into one of the dressing rooms. Green and his escort of two NYPD
detectives were immediately engulfed by a cloud of pot smoke, but he
forged ahead anyway. Upon leaving, one detective muttered, "It's like an
opium den in there!" We're sure it's just coincidence that a mass e-mail
Green's people sent out two days later gave the wrong date for Election
Day.

I already posted that! Oh well. Not that there's anything wrong with posts that smoke pot, but this board is getting a little too hazy.

hmm......as for the pot itself, that's what happens when you let famous people in.

I bet it was Adam!
hehehe, hey they've got to have some fun too!
And last night on Dave, I thought Bono looked as if had smoked a little somethin' too!

U2Byrd · 10-30-2001, 12:17 PM

Don't flame me but my sister thinks Bono does coke the way he is always touching his nose and if you watch Letterman he did it twice. To each his own.

Maybe it was just an itch that needed scratching....

He does that rubbing his nose thing all the time. I don't think there has been an interview in the last year where he wasn't doing that and/or biting on his fingers. I think he does it because of his allergies and/or out of habit. Also, those are common movements for someone who has recently quit smoking.

Anyway, he's always been a live-wire, even as a child. Can you imagine how hyper he'd be on cocaine? He'd be bouncing off the walls!

It's so easy for just one person to have a puff in the dressing room and because of the powerful aroma, it seems like everyone's into it. So who can tell? I'd reckon the band wouldn't hit it that much, if at all when they are working. Someone yesterday told me the list of shows they had seen and were seeing soon, ALL U2!!! plus the excitement about Letterman and it made me realise just how hard that band is working. I'm impressed.So I don't think they'd have time for too much except beauty sleep at the moment.
I hope the candidate didn't inhale. It's another case of an appropraite surname..Mr Green!!! lmao

PS :I totally agree with utah about Bono rubbing his face. If you are sensitive to something, the itch in your nose,mouth and ears can drive you bats some days.I fully sympathise if that's the case.

U2SJ, sorry if I sound all fashioned, but even with U2, I cannot seem to justify someone that smokes pot on a regular basis. I mean, not that I'm a saint or anything, but what's the point?.

U2Byrd · 10-30-2001, 04:27 PM

I do agree with you. I think it is do to his giving up smoking and just nerves. On stage in front of us Bono is in his element but in interviews he is on the spot with all attention on him and it could be nerves.
Thanks for not flaming me.

Well, just because when I sit in a chair at school I usually keep moving, either drumming my fingers, tapping my foot, moving my knee, something fidgety, its completely normal. I mean its not like everyones going to assume Im on something. I think we should all leave Bono alone, remember, its getting colder out now, perhaps hes got a cold or something?

Some people relax with a drink. Some relax with a joint. The only difference is that one is illegal but relatively benign, and the other is legal but can be a deadly addiction. I'll take the illegal one anyday.

Plus, just because there's pot smoke backstage doesn't mean it's a band member, and even if it were, doesn't mean they are regular users. Bono's drinking is far more worrisome to me than a little weed.

U2SJ · 10-30-2001, 06:06 PM

U2@NYC- I wouldn't think or hope that Bono and the boys smoke on a daily basis, but if they do light up every now and then, IMO like joyfulgirl sais, pot and alcohol are equal in their power to be very very bad habits...
And it probably wasn't coming from U2 anyways!
