Funny sentences in a live show

It's worth watching it 6 six times... I say; WTSHNN, All I Want Is You, Desire, SBS and BTBS, great versions of these songs

Lol, that are exact the songs that are listed in the my favourites playlist on my Ipod
UTEOTW is great too... pity they didnt played The Fly @ Slane cause I like it the way it has been played at the Elevation Tour, but I think the song just don't fits in the whole Slane scene (Mysterious Ways didnt fit in too btw)

Agree with you on that one, the show was just perfect, but they should have replaced Mysterious Ways for a ATYCLB song, maybe In A Little While or New York

In A Little While is what I would like there too, or Stay.

Yeah, In A Little While I think...or maybe Gone?

It's so stupid, but he makes it very funny by singing La Bamba.

Frank Sinatra
I give you MTV demographic
You're welcome

Salman Rushdie
I give you decibels

Goodbye Squeegie
I hope they give you whales

Goodbye Micheal

What's "MTV demographic" ? What's it got to do with Sinatra?
What does he mean by giving rushdie "decibels"?
Who's Squeegie?
Who's Michael?

Thanks (you know I don't open new topics...this had to do with sentences in a live show!)

The only one I could fathom an answer for would be Salman Rushdie - I think he was making a mockery of the fatwa that was placed upon Rushdie's head, and saying that MacPhisto had given him the power to speak his mind (Rushdie appeared onstage alongside Bono during a show earlier in the year at Wembley, and in U2 by U2. Bono mentioned how it offended his own Christian faith that there were people wanting to kill Rushdie for his using the right to free speech). It's all part of MacPhisto's facade in a sense, but it's also the actual Bono inside talking through him, i.e. I gave the world free speech and Rushdie used it, shame on him.

Well, at least that's what I think he's referring to lol...
