Hi gang --

After my email of a few nights ago in response to Amanda's original query,
I had a few requests for this via private email. This is ONE VERSION of the
text U2 flashed on the vidiwalls during "The Fly" on the Zoo TV tour. The
band was able to - and did - change the text quite often.

Here goes - oh, this was originally posted years ago on AOL. That's my
source. (No, I didn't sit in front of the VCR for hours/days on end
figuring this out.) :-)
