Today U2 performed at the Obama Inaugural Pre-concert, er, at the U2 Album Launch Party.
First of all, it looks freezing cold. I love U2 - but not in sub-zero weather.
During the performance there are a couple of funny moments:
While U2 is wrapping up their first song "Pride: In The Name of Love" the camera pans to Obama.
He looks totally confused.
Secondly, towards the beginning of their second song, "City of Blinding Lights" Bono sings:
"They are advertising in the skies for people like you...(pause)....Joe Biden!...."
(he sings this while pointing at Joe Biden)
I rewinded it 4 or 5 times because it was so hilarious to me. I really can't tell if Bono is mocking Joe Biden - or if he just feels awkward and doesn't know what else to sing. It is hilarious to me.
