according to the article they did, if that can be believed. They certainly looked friendly

Ugh, too friendly. Can't stand girls like that (though I'm sure my opinion would change if I were male).

Bono and The Edge performed a pair of songs with B.B. King and an all-star ensemble at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday (10/26).
The event was the annual Thelonious Monk gala, a multi-themed event that serves the dual purpose of showcasing some of the top young talent being schooled in the Monk Institute of Jazz and a splashy concert event drawing top names across the musical spectrum.
This year's concert featured performances by Robert Cray, Cassandra Wilson, Keb 'Mo, Lee Ritenour, Herbie Hancock and Poncho Sanchez among others.
But the highlight and finale of the evening was U2 members Bono and Edge taking the stage with blues legend B.B King for a split version of "When Love Comes To Town," starting with the rock version immortalized in the 1988 U2 film and album "Rattle & Hum," and followed by a taste of King's arrangement, which has been a late-set romp at most of his shows since then.
Following the song, most of the concert cast took the stage with King for a group take of "Let The Good Times Roll," which pulled Bono and Edge from the wings again by the first verse.

The U2 frontman will wax lyrical on Africa, poverty and Frank Sinatra – and he'll be doing it for free. Expect future contributions from Brian May and Bruce Springsteen.
A new writer will be joining the New York Times editorial staff, issuing literate meditations on the issues of the day. He's Irish. He wears wrap-around sunglasses. And his name rhymes with "Oh no!"
Yes, U2's Bono is the latest columnist to be hired by New York's esteemed newspaper. Editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal announced the decision at Columbia's School of Journalism this week, saying that the former Nobel Peace Prize nominee will pen between six and 10 articles over the course of 2009.
Bono will wax lyrical (or actually, less lyrical than normal) on the topics of Africa, poverty and Frank Sinatra, Rosenthal said.
The appointment of Bono may have been spurred by Rosenthal's fascination with learning the guitar – he showed students several sheets of guitar tablature he had downloaded. But more likely it was inspired by, er, Bono's celebrity status. And by his pay demands; Bono will be paid exactly "nothing", Rosenthal said.
The New York Times also expressed an interest in bringing Queen's Brian May back to the pages of the paper. The guitarist – who recently earned his doctorate in astrophysics - has already written about space for the New York Times website. Rosenthal said he was a fan, too, of previous op-eds by Bruce Springsteen.
Though rockers and pop stars are welcome, another group faces an uphill battle on to the New York Times' editorial page - conservatives. "[US Secretary of State] Condoleezza Rice is a particularly bad op-ed writer," Rosenthal said. However, the problem doesn't end there. "The problem with conservative columnists," Rosenthal said, "is that many of them lie in print." And they can't sing.
