But it was The Edge who landed the first barb.

More earnestly, he added, Were huge fans, have been for a long time.

It was very brave of him.

So here we have two great storytellers.

One of those storytellers, he clearly meant, is Letterman.

What a lovely piece of work, Letterman said.

Im so pleased, so proud.

And I dont know how it happened exactly.

It being Letterman, he did work in some humor.

In Dublin, I am so much more popular than U2.

I think thats my biggest takeaway.

That same day, U2s latest album will be released,Songs of Surrender.

Its a great tour.

Get in touch with them Im told there are still availabilities.

They explain the origins of the songs, but also, in a sense, rewrite them.

The music is better itself just by him being in the room, taking the piss out of us.
