Spencer and I went to see BONO this week! It was AMAZING! It was by far the best concert I have been to! The Fray opened for them which was pretty sweet too! U-2 has been together for 35 years! They had 51 semi-trucks to bring in their enormous stage! It seriously made the football stadium look tiny! We were pretty close to the front and had a good view of him! Spencer is a true fan of U-2 and so he knew most of the guys songs.. I probably knew about 1/2 (you know his classics!:) but it was still pretty entertaining to just have Spencer sing to me the whole time! I have a sweet video of one of his great songs down below!
Bono pretty much sang for a good straight 2 hours! He was a pretty chill and collected guy. You could just tell he loved performing and putting on a good show! He did a lot of campaigning for http://www.one.org/us/ ONE, to fight against poverty and extreme diseases. It was pretty sweet!
Has anyone else ever wondered why he always wears sunglasses? Well I did a little research and this is what he told Rolling Stone in an interview: " I have very sensitive eyes to light. If someone takes my photograph, I will see the flash for the rest of the day. My right eye swells up. I've a blockage there, so that my eyes go red a lot. So it's part vanity, part privacy and part sensitivity."
His huge stage!
