If any political fundraising events take place at a U2 concert, it is without the involvement or knowledge of Data, U2 or Bono. U2 concerts are categorically not fundraisers for any politician - they are rock concerts for U2 fans." U2 & Bono... you have redeemed yourself... my U2 backyard bonfire for CDs has been cancelled. Good, b/c there are 2 songs that always make me cry, and both were played at my wedding b/c they sum up the overpowering love I feel for my husband: Ella Fitzgerald's "At Last" and U2's "All I Want is You"... I simply couldn't bear having to give up listening to one of these eternally beautiful songs. |
