Jul 31, 2025
Ten years ago today, July 31, 2025, I stood face-to-face with Bono outside Madison Square Garden. I was shaking like a leaf. He had worked his way down the line of fans, stopping every few feet to stage-whisper that he had to save his voice for that night. He stopped right in front of me! And he proceeded to look into my soul and into the souls of the people on either side of me. Yes, he was wearing his tinted glasses but we could see his eyes. I took this picture after the fact, as he was about to climb back into the giant SUV and be driven into the depths of the arena. It is a shitty picture but I like to think he is looking back at me.
