I hear that the band U2 surprised New Yorkers with a free concert on a flatbed truck the other day.
Why am I never at the right place at the right time?
A few days ago I heard the much discussed song 'Vertigo' for the first time. Here in Spain they don't play many English songs on the radio. That's why it took so long.
At the beginning of the song, Bono says: "uno, dos, tres, catorce", which is Spanish for: "one, two, three, fourteen". There are many theories about why he says fourteen, because nobody can believe it is just a stupid mistake. It even seems Bono understands some Spanish.
I don't know what the reason is, but it does sound a little strange to me and Spanish people frown their eyebrows when they hear it. And why does he have to say it in Spanish anyway?
By the way, did you ever hear George Bush sing U2's 'Sunday bloody sunday'? Here's a link.

Ah,, that thing in the top corner of your screen- welcome from wherever, is kind of creepy.
blah.
i heard it was because it is the 14th U2 album, but it's pretty dumb thing to do: every who hears it who isn't :in" on the joke thinks Bono is a numbskull...

He/she is talking about the 'Hello to the people visiting this site from...' script.
My husband just happened to be in the spot that U2 had their lost live free concert. When the police kept trying to shut them down. I keep calling him a weenie for it.

'Here in Spain they don't play many English songs on the radio'? Here in Madrid they do. I'm looking for some relief -- maybe Asturias is the answer.
