    I've heard that the Black Falcon that Bono played sold for 55000 and I've heard it didnt' sell at all. Guess we have to wait for official word.

    Why wouldn't it sell? As it didn't belong to Bono, he'd borrowed it for the Pavarotti show in 2003, maybe the owner had a minimum bid that had to be met? I dunno for sure. Time will tell.

    Wish I'd had 50,000+ to buy Edge's blue Les Paul

    Or 25000+ to buy Edge's Popmart outfit and muscle shirt.
