Ten years ago today, July 31, 2025, I stood face-to-face with Bono outside Madison Square Garden. I was shaking like a leaf. He had worked his way down the line of fans, stopping every few feet to stage-whisper that he had to save his voice for that night. He stopped right in front of me! And he proceeded to look into my soul and into the souls of the people on either side of me. Yes, he was wearing his tinted glasses but we could see his eyes. I took this picture after the fact, as he was about to climb back into the giant SUV and be driven into the depths of the arena. It is a shitty picture but I like to think he is looking back at me.

I’m listening to an audio of the U2 concert I went to. Bono tells us, the audience, a story. It’s 1973, the bandmates are 13, 14. He walks to school that day. Then he says:

“Some of us missed the bombs. Some of us lost a lot more than just our innocence.”

A radio clip plays. A car bomb in Dublin. 20-something dead and hundreds injured.

The drummer of the band creates an effect that sounds like gunfire, people being shot down. There’s one other context I’ve heard this effect in. A play about the holocaust at school.

This is the transition into ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’, a song about the war in Ireland at the time, which I will link here.

Bono preludes this whole thing by saying the people of this city will relate to it. Where were we?

New York City.

Madison Square Garden.

July 1st, 2018.

They’re also talking ‘bout ICE and the trade war later in the concert.

“When you don’t believe I exist, that is when I do my best work.”

Damn, ain’t that true.
