where there is only love...
I stayed up, ad I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, but it was worth it....... but I did have some observations about the whole thing......

~ You could tell Bono wanted to move around that place, like he did when he was on SNL.... he's not used to just standing in one spot anymore
~ And given the fact that there's a 5 minute maximum time limit for each song, he didn't really get the chance
~ No Larry or Adam!? (well, we did get 2 back shots of Larry, but next to nothing of Adam.....
~ Did anyone notice when they would go to break during the show Paul's band would play U2 songs? That was cute.....
~ The Edge didn't wear his numbers.. but I did like that sweater
~ Did Bono have an obsession w/ Britney that night? Oh, well....
~ My dad told me that story about the firefighter's speech, so when Bono talked about it, I knew what he meant... my Dad also told me that somebody proposed to his girlfriend at that show (I'd love for that to happen to me, but wait I'm not even legal yet!)

But, I am still glad I stayed up because my mom did tape it, but it's just not the same as when you see it on tv than if you see it on a tape (it's not live though, is it? cause Bono said shit and they bleeped it out.....)

But this is just my opinion......

I agree with you on those points.

I especially agree with the waiting up and only getting 4 hours of sleep because of it...

Yes you could tell Bono felt a little caged in.

I LOVED the statue of liberty thing he did. That was so cute!

Hi girls! I totally agree with your first point, poor Bono, I kept saying, "GIVE THE MAN SOME SPACE!!!!!!"

I didn't get the statue of liberty thing until my sis pointed it out this afternoon. She said, "Oh, how cute....he's doing the statue of liberty!" I felt like such a dodo head, I said, Oh, that's what he meant!!!

I felt so ashamed watching Letterman. In Stuck I SWEAR SWEAR SWEAR SWEAR on a stack of lemons that the line is

"The nights you filled with flowers
they left you with nothing"

Bono: "Then nights you filled with FI-YER-WERKS."

Bono! Why hath thou forsaken me?! I need to clean my ears. I've been wrong this whole time.

(((That's OK Honee))) I always thought 'if your glass house should crack...', but it's really 'glass heart' but then BONO always changes the words to his songs anyways!

I had the same problem w/ that line!
Except I thought Bono was saying:

"The nights you filled with fallacy"

Don't asky why.. that's just what it sounded like to me, but I wasn't sure so a few months ago I checked in the cover booklet for ATYCLB, and it said "fireworks"... but it sure as hell doesn't sound like he's saying that...... it was only on the VMA's when I heard him say fireworks

Maybe he changed the word during the recording session and they never made a note of it....

Okay, several things. What the HAIL do you mean, Larry and Adam weren't there? What adorable Statue of Liberty thing?

What Brittany obsession? (God, not him too....)

And...I HATE MY VCR! Actually, I hate my rommates VCR. Can someone post pics?

I'm guessing by that you didn't watch, but that's okay... I'll explain

Larry & Adam were there, but Larry only got 2 up close shots of him, and they were his back from behind the drum kit, and Adam's only close up was when Bono sang next to him during "Stick in a Moment"...

Afet the performance, Bono & Dave sat down & chatted for a few...... and they talked about the "What's Going On" project, and Bono must have referred to Brit at least 5 times... he was talking about the video and how she would be blindfolded in it, but I thought it was quite odd for him to single her out of the 40-something people who contributed to that song.....

The Staue of Liberty Thing? Well, it was this: during New York (I believe, I'll have to watch my tape again to be sure), Bono made a pose like the Statue of Liberty, with one arm out like he was holding the torch....

I feel so bad that you didn't see it...... but don't worry hone, there will always be the rerun of it.... but what happened to your VCR?

If you missed it go to http://www.angelfire.com/pop2/u2sat36/mp3z.html and downlowad it.

That's all I can say, I'm sure Bono felt extra silly when people didn't find his Britney joke as amuzing as he thought they would. LOL Destiny's Child, Britney, plus the elevated photos really if I was Ali I wouldn't let him outta of my sight.

Ali: Bono! Heeeeeeeere Bono! Here, boy!

1.)So basically everytime Bono goes out Ali has to fit him with a cup and a leash, to keep the elevation situation under contol (INTER-PANTAL CONTROL!) and to keep Bono away from the bowling alleys.

2.)When Bono says "R & B" He says "Oar and B" It took me an hour to figure out what he meant. *oar*

Moaner, you know I love you 'cause you're my PLEBA sister and everything, but somtimes you are SUCH a dork.

(But then, I think it's completely unnecessary that MTV subtitles the Gallagher brothers whenever they talk.)
