Bananapuddin's "Bands/Musicians I've Seen Live"
Those were the days my friend... — 5 years ago
Was probably first (along with my sister) U2 “groupie” (sort of) in U.S. Saw lots of awesome performances, especially in D.C. at the Bayou with 50 people. Have their songlists autographed. Slept at Bono’s feet at Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC (in room with the Edge as well), went to the East Village and Chinatown with them and to the World Trade Center (where Bono pointed to Dublin and said he missed his father). Went bowling with the Edge in Asbury Park, NJ, to a Monty Python movie with the whole band, and to the beach where Bono stripped to his red underpants and dove in the freezing cold Atlantic Ocean yelling “a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do!” Unfortunately, nothing that exciting has happened to me since…

cool story
I also love my friend’s story of growing up in England and once spent the night at her uncle’s house when he had a party. Adam Ant also stopped by and spent the night too. Oh England back in the days!
