Part of an interview from the Chicago Suntimes that I wanted
to share with ya!
In one of only a few unscripted moments Monday, as his aides tried to wrangle him back on the bus,
Bono turned to wide-eyed Gwen Varley, 13, seated next to him and asked if she watched MTV.
"No," the shy teen said.
"They don't have MTV out here?" Bono asked.
"No. I just have mean parents," she said.
First he commiserated with parents who don't want music videos in the house.
But then he told her, quietly, "I'm a fan of MTV. Go get 'em."
On his way out of the Iowa diner and gift shop, one of the owners asked Bono to sign the guest
book and handed him a gift basket filled with homemade goodies.
"Ooh, there's spicy stuff. I like that. I consider myself a spicy guy," Bono quipped, as he eyed a jar of preserves.
Ever the rock star, he couldn't resist adding: "I'm Man Spice. Or, actually, Old Spice."
Bono's Heart of America tour pulls into Chicago tonight.
Yep, He?ll be arriving in Chicago (weather permitting-it?s snow like hell right now)
today and will be speaking at Wheaten College tomorrow night at 7PM!!!
Anyone going to brave the elements to see him?
