Did Bono actaully sing "Sunday Bloody Sunday" today?

[tk2kewl]

CBS radio news in the car only mentioned him singing "When the Rain Comes"

[knowbody0]

1. he did

and the skies were weeping. it was beautiful

[tk2kewl]

3. And the news doesn't say a word about that, huh

[AP]

2. He didn't sing that song on the 30th Anni. of SBS (at the superbowl).

I know the superbowl is all about sellling shit and blowing sunshine up people's assholes, but it was still wierd that it wasnt' mentioned at all.

[Reverend_Smitty]

20. go to cspan.org

click on the video link for "opening of President Clinton Library" and the U2 segment is at about 1 hr 4 minutes...you go back too far and you'll catch the end of shrub's speech :puke:

[Scan Hopper]

14. Bono, you rule my man

ok. you can be annoying sometimes. but not today. EXCELLENT choice of a "rain" song too. rock.

[juajen]

15. it was awesome

I loved every minute of it. Bono's performance and Clinton's speech, and the interaction between Hill, Bill and Chelsea was beautiful to see. Somehow, the pouring rain was appropriate and moving. To me, it represented all the tears shed in the last years of his presidency, and when he left. Even an umbrella couldn't keep the rain off his face and hair as he was speaking. I hope he doesn't come down with pneumonia.

All in all, it was a step back to when the world was happier and healthier; so, it was very nostalgic for this Clinton fan, and, I think, for most people there, perhaps even the family Bush. I really want to visit this Presidential Library, and I lived a short while in Little Rock. Arkansas is truly beautiful and this seems like a worthwhile return visit when coupled with this very interesting expression of William Jefferson Clinton.

16. good point about rain=tears

they were tears from heaven after witnessing the sadness of our situation since he left.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Yes he did n/t

[RB TexLa]

18. Yes he did and the saddest thing about it is

There isn't even anyone left in American politics who mentions a unified Ireland.

We are supposed to be satisified with "peace."

Blood, tears and prayers for a unified Ireland mean nothing now, I guess.

[insanity]

19. Its sad

This song left me nostalgic for a time when we could really mention a unified Ireland. With the shit thats happened in the last four years, Ireland has fallen off the radar, its a damn shame too.
