![]() ![]() At one point he was wondering where all the groupies were that Bono kept talking about. ![]() They even had a doctored black and white photo of this geezer "standing" next to Bono. *Late update, September 23, 2001: Bono's "grandpa" was a hoax - a stunt put on for VH1's Sledgehammer series! Of course, the nurse was a hottie. Friends on that side of the heart said he was Bono's grandpa.* Inside the heart there was a man in a wheelchair with a nurse. In the audience: Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, Michael Stipe, the Beastie Boys, Bill from Arkansas, and Paul McGuinness. He's got a lot on his mind and he puts out there while he's performing! Random thought: I still don't know how Bono can stand to flash that spotlight in his own face during Bullet the Blue Sky! Watching him at the tip, there's a passion in his eyes. As Bono explained, "Only an Irish band can play two love songs in a row."

But even the security guys, or at least one in particular, were entertaining when either PJ Harvey or U2 weren't on stage.įrom my vantage point, I could see Bono thanking those of us up front for helping him polish off the lyrics of With or Without You when his voice failed him on the higher notes. Nobody but the security guys in front of me. This was the show I got to see from close to the tip of the heart, on the outside. I was number 98 in the badly sunburned GA line. ![]()
