  1. I miss the Bono from the early eighties...

Originally posted by @u2Meanwhile, back in New York City, Bono spent much of the week hanging out with a veritable who's who of the world's politicians,academics, business leaders and media moguls. He rubbed shoulders with French President Nicolas Sarkozy; former US President Bill Clinton; former US vice president, presidential candidate and Oscar winner Al Gore, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, News Corporation boss Rupert Murdoch, economist Jeffrey Sachs, President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania and UK Prime Minster Gordon Brown. He was supposed to have met with Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, but fate – or perhaps an emergency phone call from Larry Mullen Jnr – intervened and they could only manage a quick chat on the phone. I can imagine the phone call from Larry "Ah, look, Bono, seriously, the answer is no. This is not cool. If I wake up in the morning and see a photo of you and Sarah Palin on the front page of the paper, you are out of the band."


    lol
  7. From U2.com

    U2 are nominated in the 2008 MTV Europe Awards. Here's the competition and here's how you vote.


    Nominated in the 'Best Act Ever' category, the band are up against a diverse list of acts who we can safely say have never been in the same category before: Green Day, Tokio Hotel, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears... and Rick Astley.


    I don't even know how to comment on this one. I guess I would start with Rick Astley though.
