The Fly
I'd just got in from work tonight as my mum and dad were going to bed and 'Pride' came on the TV. My mum turned round to me and said "I didn't know Bono was 44" (she knew this because of the 6-in-a-bed article in the paper yesterday, she loved the fact that he and Ali were childhood sweethearts). Anyway she said she thought he was similar age to her. My mum is 57 years old! I couldn't help but laugh, he does look older than 44 but 57 is going a little extreme. What was even funnier was that she said it in all seriousness and not merely mocking that Bono might look older than his age, she did truly believe he was entering his late 50s.
Whats even funnier is my dads unshakeable view that Bono is part of the IRA because of "something he saw on the telly years ago". Ever since i first really got into U2 around the time of the 2000-01 Brit awards he's constantly reminded me of his views. I just pity the damn dirty fool (as Mr T would say).
Anyway i was just wondering if you had any funny/ridiculous/ignorant tales of friends or family and U2? It's going to be hard to beat Bono's alliance with the IRA (he still doesn't listen to me when I play him Bullet THe Bly Sky from Slane Castle!).
