Fans In High Places
If you were at the U2 show in Washington, DC, you may remember that we were joined by many political leaders that night. And in Las Vegas on Friday, Bono gave a big shout out to “another Elvis in the building this evening, the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.”

At the stop before Vegas, Bono welcomed the McCain family, who joined us in their home state of Arizona.

So if you’re planning being at either of the last two shows in Los Angeles or Vancouver, you can be sure ONE will be there, and who knows who else might show up.

I think it’s cool that so many celebrities show up for U2 concerts. But do they really need to be acknowledged?
