    U2 my favorite band since 1983. On a cold winter night while doing my Homework as a teen I predicted U2 would be massively successful and special. I just knew no other band was like them ❤

    Great tribute. Some Irish are often quick to knock their own high achievers but many of us are very proud of what U2 and many other Irish artists have achieved on both the domestic and international stage. Well done lads!🎉🎉🎉

    U2 made me want to write poems. As a young teen they were my first musical love, back in 1986. I would be amazed by songs on every album. Thank you U2.

      He certainly wasn't my first choice for President (I didn't really like any of the choices) and I haven't agreed with some of his policies, but I do think he's a sincerely good man.

    • @jasonkeith9317
      @jasonkeith9317 Год назад

      @@hutch1197 We'll have to agree to disagree on that one not sure there's anything good about Joe Biden. Pretty sure he'll go down as the worst president ever. At least in modern times. Jimmy Carter ur off the hook!!

    • @hutch1197
      @hutch1197 Год назад

      @Jason Keith I think that's quite an exaggeration. I'd say he's mediocre. But one of the worst? That's a bit much. In today's polarized climate,, a President from either party will be hard pressed to get anything more than a 40% approval rating. The worst President in modern times remains George W Bush. And I voted for him!

      Do you mean the multicolored ‘scarf’ you see the members of U2 wearing?
      That is the ribbon for the medallion presented to honorees. The rainbow symbolizes the many skills within the performing arts.
