On set report of U2′s video shoot in Vancouver
Steven Rockarts reports from U2′s videoshoot for their City of Blinding Lights video from inside the Arena in Vancouver:
“During some of the breaks Bono did the hokey pokey with the crowd. He also did a mock pop idol where he went to each band member and asked them questions. He went up to Edge and asked him if his mother knew he was here and if he was nervous. Edge replied to both questions with a quiet/kid like “yes sir”. Then Bono said Edge looked very cute in a beard.”
Read the full report on Steven’s blog. AtU2.com has another in depth report and coverage of a slightly confusing door policy.

- The Resource Miracle May 22, 2012[Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse." When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
- Bono Pays One More Tribute to Steve Jobs May 22, 2012Bono made an appearance via video tonight at the Webby Awards, contributing to a tribute to Steve Jobs.

Yeah he said “this is like a club show…I hate club shows, but I am having fun here.” Take it with a grain of slat though, Bono was probably just having fun with us.
