The rest of my family had never heard that story before, so when Bono shared it tonight, they thought it was a really neat story
. Damn right, they are. That was freakin' AMAZING tonight. The band sounded fantastic and looked fantastic ("I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" actually got me a little teary-eyed tonight, which is interesting, 'cause while I've always loved that song, it's never done that to me before, so...)-there wasn't a bad note in any of their songs. And I loved it when Bono sprayed the champange all over the place-yeah! You're being inducted, why not celebrate a little, go a little crazy, right?
to the crowd, too-a standing ovation, wow. And they were having fun during the songs and everything-happy to see that.Bruce's speech was absolutely wonderful-humorous and heartfelt and all that good stuff-he proved yet again why he is one of the coolest people ever. And I thought this was so neat-when Bruce was singing on "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", you noticed Edge at one point looking in his direction and smiling-U2 looked so awed and thrilled to be performing with Bruce, and Bruce looked just as awed and thrilled to be performing with them. Their friendship was very noticeable tonight, and I thought that was so cool. And U2 gave some nice little acceptance speeches, too-made some excellent points regarding music's importance and everything, and they seemed genuinely touched and honored to be there, as they should be.
I was thinking about this tonight, too-okay, I've only been really into these guys' music for almost 3 years, but I've been alive for most of their career and have always liked their music, so seeing this was pretty cool for me as is, same with those who became fans later on in U2's career and all that, but I can't imagine how those of you who've been fans since the very beginning must be feeling right now-you got the first chances to watch the band developing each and every step of the way and all that. My dad's always loved this band's music-been into them from the beginning, and he was very happy to see these guys inducted tonight.
In regards to other parts of the show-the mixing of the performances and acceptance speeches bothered me a bit at first, but after a while, I got used to it and it stopped bothering me, personally. And I thought all the speeches from both the presenters (yes, even Justin's) and the performers were great. And each artist being inducted tonight sounded great, too. My sister and I did think it would've been cool if, at the end, each artist that was there tonight either as a presenter or a performer picked one of their own songs that sounded the most like something Bo Diddley-inspired (i.e., U2's "Desire", for example) and they'd all come out on stage with those who were doing Bo Diddley songs and did a little medley of them all or something. But the ending they had was still cool nonetheless, and I can't really think of any major complaints I have with this show.
Okay, so yeah, long-winded post over-congratulations to every single artist inducted tonight
. And seeing as the focus in this thread is obviously mainly on U2, you guys kicked arse tonight, you totally deserve this honor, and I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we're all very proud of you guys . Rock on.Angela
