  1. Ha, it's been a long time since I ran into anyone who remembers it!
  2. Sadly, I can't... Facebook doesn't work at all in Chrome lately (some issue with my antivirus software that's being investigated), so I can only use a creaky old version of Internet Explorer that is obviously not going to cooperate.
  3. Link doesn't work for me, it just says I have to log in to continue. I can see the embedded video on the main 'videos' page, but nothing happens when I hit the play button... wahhh...
  4. He's changed his tune since one of the 2011 livestreams ("The more you know, the less you know")!
  5. Loving the ZooTV continuity in tonight's speech!
  6. Me too. This is an excerpt from my concert review: And just when you thought the song couldn't get any more epic, Bono went into a lengthy snippet of 'Heroes', which.... well, to say it was moving would be an understatement. I'm not even that fond of Heroes, but hearing it immediately reminded me that they were friends with David Bowie, and I realised how much Bono must miss him, and my eyes were full of tears. (I remember thinking this must be a new record for me, crying already after only three songs!) And like.... holy shit, I don't think I've *ever* seen Bono singing so passionately as he did at the end of that song. Just howling with love and grief and the thrill of us all being alive and together in that moment. Seriously, I defy you to watch the video from about 6:40 onward and not get major goosebumps - it's making me cry again as I write this! The energy in that room was unreal. At the time I thought it was just the loss of Bowie that was driving the performance, but I guess I was nearer the mark than I realised when I wrote that description. A few months later when we heard about Bono's near-death experience, that whole "rage against the dying of the light" feeling made a lot more sense - no wonder it sent chills right down the back of my neck.
  7. I've read stuff over the years about people not getting it on the ZooTV Tour, and I always found that slightly hard to believe. But this year I've seen it with my own eyes. People really do jump to the most bizarre conclusions.
  8. I would certainly vote for the Devil himself over some of our politicians...
  9. I still can't believe how lucky we are to have MacPhisto back like this. I love him more than anything! ❤️
  10. Some things are worth staying up for. ❤️ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXPCvGRzn_8
  11. The start and the end of this speech are shiver-inducingly wonderful. It's killing me that I still haven't heard the middle of it!
  12. Gah, stupid stream! Well, I enjoyed the first half of that speech... now the long wait for a recording of the second half...
