I just spoke to BONO!

I was outside chilling at the office when he came and asked where Brian's flat was. (Brian Eno is our neighbor)

I said "that one right there" and almost fainted.

Biggest rock star in the world, right fucking next door.

oh my god oh my god

Dood - that's amazing. It's wikkid when you just meet uber-famous people doing the "regular life" thing.

BTW - if you wanted to be a smart ass when he asked you where Brian's place was - you could have said "Bono, I guess you still haven't found what you're looking for....". (fromage, i know...)

Should have kicked him in the nuts for his speech @ the grammys where he went on about being the "best band in the world".

Maybe 10yrs ago asshat... oh wait.. make that 15...

Still pretty cool Jon, but since Rattle and Hum they've sucked. :P

^^^ I'm with ya there...bring back the old, "real" U2. No question they are one of that great bands of their generation!

my favourite Bono story is from a while ago...apparently he was in a little pub somewhere and participated in an open mike singing contest of some sort...but came in 2nd to some unknown girl

Actually, it was a guy, and Bono helped him get a record deal I think.

^^^ nice!

(I didn't say that to put down Bono, btw, in case that is implied...I just thought it was funny, lol).
