Say what you will about Bono, his glasses, his eccentricities … the man has used his fame and wealth to help people. And for that I salute him.

When a rocker wears a hat 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, then you know he has more hair underneath his armpits than he has on his head. You're sure fooling me, The Edge.

I completely agree with Patrick, and not because I'm Irish. I'm just upset they're not coming to Cleveland with that stage. We can't mess up the turf at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Wonder if it would've fit at Progressive Field?

That stage looks like a gigantic malformed birth control device. It's almost as pretentious as Bono himself, but not quite.

and calling yourself the Edge isn't pretentious? Edge's hat reminds me of klaus meine, the singer of the scorpions. Ever since the early 80's he made a fashion statement wearing a beret to try to cover up his baldness.
