Hello all!
I'm a weekend net surfer (stroller) and check my email maybe twice a week.
I was happy (?) to see that I haven't missed much since "skag-head" is
still the hot topic of discussion ("talk shows, confession"). Anyway, just
some minor (very minor) comments and/or observations on postings I've read:
"U2 security is impenetrable?" - Bill Carter and Jason Aplon ("Sarajevo"
documentary) con their way past security to interview Bono. (p. 280, Bill
Flanagan's book)
"Bono doesn't or didn't do drugs?" - question: "was Bono ever seriously
tempted to try heroin?" Bono's answer, " I don't really want to talk about
this. If I talk about drugs I'm going to have the Customs looking up my
bum every time I come into the country." (p. 140, "Three Chords and the
Truth" , book by the editors of Hot Press)
"Bono does not have an addictive personality?" - "All I can say is that
I'm probably an addictive kind of person myself . . ." - Bono (p. 140, above)
( Bono also says something like, "I eat too much, drink too much, laugh too
much, cry too much, make love too much . . . pass the onion" when B.P.
Fallon asked the band members "when had they last cried, " while
interviewing them for the ZooTV program tour book. I am unable to retrieve
my tour book at the moment so I don't believe this to be an exact quote.)
Do I think Mr. B. is a skag-head? Nope. Would I like him any less if he
were? Nope. Is it any of my business if he was or is? Nope. Is it any of
my business if he isn't? Nope. Is it anybody's business as to what
someone does or doesn't do in their PRIVATE life--celebrity or not? Nope.
Does anybody really care what I think? Nope. Is there any relevance to the
above info.? Nope. I just figured that if I toss something into the mix
there's a chance that I'll have not missed anything when I logon next week,
as many folks might weigh the significance of the above quotes, etc.
Actually, all I wanted to ask was:
Is the upcoming Amnesty concert in Paris a single "anniversary" concert,
or might it be the first of an Amnesty concert tour -- such as the
"Conspiracy of Hope" tour, etc.?
but I was concerned that the question might get overlooked if I didn't
refer, in some way, to the "important news" of the day.

P.S. Perhaps Bono may be harboring homosexual tendencies toward Edge since
he seems to hang with him the most? Notice how he directs comments to only
Edge (see U2-Live in Mexico City--"we're restless aren't we The Edge"-Bono)
as well as eye contact and physically touching him more than the others
(see Red Rocks video--"I Will Follow"; see also the Austalia Zoo TV
video--"Mysterious Ways" and arms around each other after "Satellite of
Love"--which was cut from the original!; at a performance of one of the
shows Edge kisses Bono's cheek during "The End of the World"; see also
U2-Live in Mexico City--after the band's performance on the B-stage Bono
hugs ONLY EDGE!!!)
P. P. S. JUST KIDDING!!!!! But I just can't help myself after reading some
of
the recent postings. (Let's move on, shall we?)
