We are beginning to wonder about Bono. Does he want to be a New Yorker? Or just own a lot of the city? This year the U2 singer has purchased an apartment at the San Remo (see Big Bucks Buys…), a restaurant in the West Village (see Restaurateur Bono), and now is reportedly interested in available property at The Dakota, the building at which John Lennon lived and was murdered outside. If the story is true (we don’t believe it is), Bono will be forking over a bundle for a piece of the historic property.

I highly doubt this. That is literally half of his entire net worth on a holiday home in a city where he already has two holiday homes? That sounds fishy.

Bono idolizes Lennon is so many ways…why not play some NY “monopoly” to get yourself to the most prophetic apartment there is??

Highly fanciful piece they’ve written there. Besides if you look at the bottom of the column, it’s actually from the WENN wire, we all know how reliable they are…(lol)

Wow, what a coincidence they decided to publish this on the anniversary of John’s murder…there’s a special room in hell for those who sit around and just make things up and publish them as fact. This must be where the guy who made up the thing about Edge getting pulled over and arrested while screaming “DON’T you know who I AM??? I am THE EDGE!!” ended up after Edge demanded and got a retraction.

couldn’t agree more paige. it’s too coincidental on the anniv of lennon’s death. but if it is true (which i doubt), wouldn’t it be tempting fate a bit too much to be a successful rock star, public figure, peace radical, humanitarian and then move into the dakota? the similarities in some ways are frightening.

Could’nt agree more with rob..This is way to similar! *shudders at the thought* Am hoping that this is complete rubbish as everyone (me included) predicts.

Craig: The music is made. The final mixdown is scheduled for december 19.
Rob: it does seem like tempting fate. But at the same time, WTF was Bono doing screaming CHAPMAN MARK CHAPMAN, CHAPMAN MARK CHAPMAN and then shooting himself in the head with a handheld spotlight throughout most of the Elevation tour? That was creepy as shit.

If you want to buy an appartment in Manhattan, you have to have permission (to spend your millions) from the co-operation of homeowners of the particular building you want to buy in. These co-ops have a lot of power, they can decide whether and how you can renovate, decorate and even if you can smoke in your own home. The Dakota has one of the worst groups in NY, they don’t like celebs buying in their building, afraid that fans will cause inconvenience. If Bono really is interested in this place, he’s going to have a very hard time getting it, and, once he owns it, living his life there the way he wants to. Roberta Flack has already fled the building because of the constant meddlesomeness of the neighbours.

Hey partygirl….care to elaborate on this?
“The music is made. The final mixdown is scheduled for december 19.”
Pardon my meddlesomeness, but I’d like more info. Is there going to be a mixdown party? Will they erect a new studio webcam on 12/19? and lastly….any outtakes? 😉

Sorry, I don’t have any elaboration beyond that. But that came directly from the source.
