hambone Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Seems Scottish fans of U2 might not have the same reverence for them as they do in Ireland... found this tidbit from a recent concert Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous. At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies." A voice with a broad Scottish accent from the front of the crowd pierced the quiet: "Well, foockin' stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
