What did U2 do to get into the TV show Youngline (where they performed Street Mission)? (answer is in U2byU2)

If you add to your answer that Love Rescue Me was co-written by Bob Dylan, you have your complete and right answer

To answer yours; they had to play their own songs to get into Youngline, but they couldn't. So they played some Ramones-songs and pretended to have written these songs themselves...

My question; which well-known singer is doing backing-vocals on the album Unforgettable Fire?

Hint; it's a she, and she isn't credited with her own last-name, but with the last-name of her husband at that time. Who is also very well-known.

The gig itself went well enough, with a couple of funny moments. When the lights came up at the top of the first number, City of Blinding Lights, I could see in the camera close up that The Edge had a large green praying mantis sitting on top of his head. He really did - Im not making this up. There was a bright green mantis happily cleaning its mandibles perched on Edges black beanie. It wasnt overly noticeable on the stage screens (and besides theres a hell of a lot going on at that point in the show) but at mission control on the TV monitor for Edges camera we could clearly see the little chap perched there, in the best seat in the house. It sat there for a minute or so, then started to move about, exploring his new black woolly domain. It crawled forward and had a look down at Edges guitar technique, then turned around and wandered back over the crown of Edges head until we realised that a few more insect steps and the thing might fall down the back of Edges neck, which would have been highly entertaining but possibly disastrous for the show. Mercifully it held on until the blackout before Vertigo, when The Edges guitar tech discreetly slipped on stage and flicked it into oblivion.
