Eheh yes, but you could say the same to those that started websites trying to make his close. :whistle:


Plus, he does have his good, meaningful moments, in his very own satirical way:

Bono indicts America for being hypocritical with these lines:

* * Would you deny for others
* * What you demand for yourself?

Bono could not be reached for comment as he was stepping off his private jet and into his limousine.

Before it was a band, high-altitude recon jet, or submarine, it was one of these:


Polikarpov U-2 (later Po-2) biplane

From Wikipedia:

The U-2 became famous as the plane used by the 588 NBAP (588th Night Bomber Regiment), composed of all-women pilots and ground crew. The unit became known for its daring low-altitude night raids on German rear-area positions, veteran pilots Katya Ryabova and Nadya Popova on one occasion flying 18 such missions in a single night. German troops considered them more than a nuisance, and gave them the nickname Nachthexen (night witches). The unit earned numerous Hero of the Soviet Union and dozens of Order of the Red Banner medals; most surviving pilots had flown nearly 1000 combat missions at the end of the war and had taken part in the Battle of Berlin (1945). Their usual tactics involved flying only a few meters above the ground, rising for the final approach, cutting off the engine and making a gliding bombing run, leaving the targetted troops with only the eerie whistling of the wind in the wings' bracing-wires as an indication of the impending attack. Luftwaffe fighters found it extremely hard to shoot down the Kukuruznik, because the stall speed of both the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 exceeded the Soviet craft's maximum speed.

That's just nifty. To get back on-topic, U2 was the first band I ever saw in concert, on March 21, 1992, in Albany, NY. Great show.

Of course Fruit Pie would know the answer!!!! k:

I like all there albums (even the new stuff) but there older stuff is still my favourate.

[Chuck the plant]

But the band STILL named themselves after the espionage-plane and not after the russian biplane...

And for the pun.
