I heard this morning that Bono was invited to attend the funeral. Has anyone else heard this or if he is going?
Bono attending Pope's funeral?

This is a very valid question. With shows in San Jose on Sat and Sun, what will they do. There's time to fly to the funeral and back, but that would totally drain the man.
Great question.
Great question.
well being that the funeral will probably be midday friday (rome time) it would be a quick turnaround. san jose is 9 hours behind., so that makes the funeral somewhere around 3 or 4 in the morning (sj time). it's feasable but, he would have rest from serious jetlag all day saturday before playing the show sat. night.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's invited, but there's no way he can do it, logistically.

Wow, I hope that he was invited, but politely declines....selfish I know.

I don't see how you could say no regardless of your situation.

It's easy, really. All he needs to say is that his long-suffering fans would be disappointed to see a show without Bono or an exhausted Bono.
How about NO, Scotty.

NOT EVEN BONO CAN...
I was watching CNN and saw that on the day of the popes Funeral most of Italy will be a no fly zone... wow... love that pun
Bono===FLY no fly zone... get it... hahahaha
anyway... b/c of all the politicians and highly influencial figures he can't fly in or out that day... So he'd have to postpone the San Jose shows to go and fly in on saturday and fly out on monday... well... time will tell...

I bet he could find a way to do it if he wanted to. I would guess that the no-fly zone won't apply to the major dignitaries. He could always catch a ride on air force one. I'm kidding, sort of. (The story that pops into my head is that of Al Gore catching a ride with Bill Clinton to make it to the post-September 11th service at the National Cathedral in DC. Gore couldn't get permission to fly, but Clinton, as a former president, was flown by the military and Gore tagged along.) And as for jet lag, with the type of hours they seem to keep on tour, I think he's on Bono time whether he's in Italy or California.
