    Aah really, whats the story behind that? I'm assuming some sort of war we bullied ourselves into. I know mine is from the Super Bowl.


    Yours is from the Superbowl, and was a sign of support from U2...
    But the umbrella...well, judging by the mexico city video, Bono took it around while singing bullet the blue sky, and as that song is against american policies...

    The photographs used for the album cover and interior art were taken by Anton Corbijn in the Roissy Hall 2F of the Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France. Portions of the music video for "Beautiful Day" were also filmed there.

    The album cover contains a subtle religious message in the departure gate sign on the left edge of the photo. In early press ads for the album, the sign reads "F21-36". On the finished album artwork, however, it has been changed to "J33-3 →". Bono made the change at the last minute, stating that it refers to the Bible verse Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." (ESV) In Bono's words, "It was done like a piece of graffiti. It's known as 'God's telephone number.'"[10]

  7. i knew it since it came out, there was an article in a dutch paper ''Nederlands Dagblad'' and they mentioned it !

    only reason for them to publish it, was that its a religious paper!

    so its old news for me...sorry

    Yeah, I like that live version a lot more. And Edge's falsetto surprisingly adds a new bit to the song.
