    "With or With Out You" released right after my wife of 17 years passed away age 36. The spring of 1987 riding my 10 speed thru the forest of the Desmoines River Valley listening to the song. I knew my sons ages 7 and 11 and I were going to survive. 30 years later my 1st grandson was born. I looked at him for the 1st time thinking I seen thoses eye, nose and lips before. Opening a family album of my wife's baby pictures. Twins! She still alive.

      Exactly, right. Bono usually says, sarcastly, it's all about rock and roll and rock stars, but all the U2 concept has always been beyond that. It's about big ideas expressed on music supported on the power of rock and roll to reach thinking minds strongly.

    I am a huge U2 & Bono fan and was fortunate enough to be front row in the audience for the taping last night. What a moment.. It took everything in me to stop myself from bawling. The passage was beautiful- his words to his wife were aching and relatable. And as he transitioned into the song I had full-on goosebumps!! His voice was so powerful and I loved the tweak of the lyrics. The atmosphere and instrumentation (with Jacknife Lee, Kate Ellis and Gemma Doherty) was especially gorgeous. I loved everything about this- what a gift!

    I met Ali in a restaurant on Fade St. She is stunning. She just filled the room. It’s the way she carried herself. She looked stunning. My husband went to pay the bill. I made small talk that lasted 30 min. My husband went back to our table and watched in awe. She put her hand on mine, asked me how I liked being married to an Irish man. She asked me how I found living in Ireland, and we said our goodbyes. Ironically, this was on the 24th of December, when most people who are out are hanging around Grafton St. Because Bono is known for playing, there, but the time is never released. Anyway,my daughter met him, in Temple Bar, when he just came in, played a couple of songs and left. We all love, but respect, and honour, them, as well. They’re good people. I wish he and his family, the best for the holiday season- This year, and all of the years that follow….❤

    This man! It's easy to become cynical about U2. Cynical bout Bono who's been on every talk show and magazine cover there is. Cynical about a song that is 35 years old and it's recorded version can be yawn inducing when played on afternoon rock radio.
    But this man. This man carries the truth of those lyrics. This man has a way of connecting you and I to this story. This man doesn't have a gift, he is the gift. I cherish this performance and the nights I've spent seeing him live in concert. No way have I given back to them what they've given to me.

    I've always said that Bono doesn't get the credit he deserves as a songwriter. Not to mention, his pipes. This man is a true poet. This is one of the greatest songs ever written and I don't say that as a U2 fan, which I am, but just as a music fan. I love the way the reading slowly morphed into the song and kept building beautifully till the end. Hoping for a tour in the very near future. U2 forever and ever.

    I'm a fan of U2's early music (up to Zooropa but esp. their first four).
    I met Bono on one of U2's tours of Australia. I met The Edge and Larry too - but of all of them Bono was the only who stayed to talk with the people who spent money to see them in concert.
    He was really lovely, chatty and charming. I hung back from the main crowd, but finally drummed up the courage to ask him to sign a program for me, which he did. I said "thank you very much" he said "you're very welcome" while *actually making eye contact* with me. I moved away from the group that was swarming him and stood off to the side.
    When he started to leave and go into the hotel, he sought me out, put his hand on my forearm and said goodnight.
    Things like this stay with an 18 year old girl who was so uncertain of herself. He's an incredible showman, he has a majestic voice, but I will never forget how human he was.

    That was...deeply moving. I sit here, watching my marriage of 26 years melting into the ground as my still adored husband has left me, thinking how this song can still move me so very deeply and answer the cry in my heart. Thank you, she says quietly. You have validated my tears and given me a bit of the magic of music back, even through the agonizing pain of watching my love walk away from me.

      Well, Hello Bono,
      Surprise would be an understatement definitely an honour. How thoughtful of you, but your music already tells us you are a thoughtful man. Where do you find the time?? Thank you for reaching out, it is much appreciated. You have giving me bragging rights with my friends!!! My daughter is so jealous.
      You have hooked up with a 75 year old grandmother, who grew up on Beatles, Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen.
      When marriage, babies, and 12 hour shifts ruled my life, there was no new music. Then this high energy Irish band broke through my fog with great music, real words and emotion. Good music is therapy. Me time was U2 time. You brought back that much needed balance to my life. Thank you Bono.
      Don’t get too sentimental. I just spent the weekend playing ‘chicken feet’ with friends. My 94 year old neighbour beat me, sly women that she is!!
