1. Will you help to increase awareness in the USA about
election fraud? Or do you just care that you are in the news with whoever will support your initiatives?

12. Regarding your election...
Certainly my band is interested in what happens in the US as we have adopted it as our own. U2 has always been a band of the people, for the people...we hope that with our music, we can spread democracy around the world -- freedom for all; as everyone deserves to be free. I vow to increase the awareness of election fraud throughout the world with my music -- as U2 is the voice of a generation...and that voice deserves to be heard.

26. "Driver8" is my alias when I am on the road...
Since we are the greatest band in the world and I am the frontman of that band, I must be careful about letting people know who I am. Since I gave Michael Stipe the idea for this song and he stole the name "Driver8" from me...I'm stealin' it back!!

I respect the music of REM, by the way. They are a fine support band.

14. Of course you may, my dear...
I, like my bandmates, have always felt it was our duty as human beings to spread love around the world whenever we can. I am staying at the Hilton in suite 514...see you around nine.

4. I know you are into saving Gaelic as a language
Will you help me promote the idea of langauge diversity and why it is horrible the rate of language loss here in the US especially among immigrants and the indigenous peoples?

15. Any language which is lost is a crime against humanity...
and U2, as a band, has always joined the fight when it comes to crimes against humanity. How can we call ourselves human if we don't fight against these crimes against humanity??

U2, through our music, will continue to promote the idea of language diversity and bringing these languages back to the people...for we are a band "of the people and for the people."

10. My brother told me that since
the name of the song is Vertigo and that implies dizziness and confusion Bono meant to count like that or he just doesn't know how to count in Spanish.

16. Uhm...
Uno, doze, ah...treize, quatroze. My spelling may be a little off as I was not raised writing the Spanish language. However, I embrace the languages of people around the world as if they were my own. Love is the universal language...that is a language that I speak fluently.

7. Would you get me TWO FUCKING TICKETS?
I love you, and that's for real.

But damn boy, why'd you let Ticketmaster handle this tour?

Sold out by 9:03? And don't even mention the presale.

Dang boy.

Still love you though. :loveya:

24. Wow!
Bono a bit defensive. Did The Edge tell you he wanted to sing more songs on the next album?

28. Edge plays guitar -- I do the singing!!
I've let him have his fun in the past and it has obviously gone to his head. Edge needs to be put back in his place...his place is the guitar player for the greatest band in the world. I am the frontman of that band...and I do the singing. I am Bono -- greatest frontman in the greatest rock band in the world.

18. Send me your picture and we will see what we can do...
by the way, I am going to give your picture to "Edge". He hasn't had any lovin' in awhile, if you know what I mean.

He will be in suite 512 at the Hilton.

20. You're the frontman for Sonic Youth? Sweet!
Btw, what happened to Thurston? If it was nasty, you don't need to tell me.
It was nasty, wasn't it?
Was it something to do with his hair?

22. Sonic Youth can kiss my Irish arse!!
What kind of name is "Sonic Youth" anyway? Sounds a bit pretentious if you ask me...

Who is this Thurston you speak of? Edge will blow him off the stage with his Fender Stratocaster...Thurston couldn't carry Edge's guitar strap.

25. Hmm. D'you think your ambivalent attitude towards Sonic Youth
will maybe hinder your ability to give a performance as said band's frontman?

27. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING hinders my ability!!
I am Bono -- greatest frontman in the world! Are you still talkin'about the tossers in "Sonic Youth"?

I'm about to turn Adam Clayton loose on your arse...we'll see you like that "Mr. Sonic Youth."

Did I mention that I am Bono -- greatest frontman for the greatest rock band in the world??
