Bono on America

created by mr-pink

Here's an excerpt of what Bono (of the band U2) said during one of the PopMart concerts in Foxboro, Massachusetts:

"Thanks for sticking with us over the years..."

"So what do you think of all this shit?"

{applause}

"This is where we live now. This is our church made up of bits and pieces of America."

"You know, what you might call neon America. When you see those buildings during the day and at night they look so beautiful. It's the sight of this country that we really love as we tour. We learn so much about ourselves and about you just looking out the windows of buses and trains."

"Anyway, here we are with a forty-foot lemon! What can I tell you."
