We met while touring Europe in 1997. Since then, Pat and Phil came to America twice to visit us, first in 2002 and then again in 2010. In between, the four of us have toured the south of England together in 2008. Then in 2012 we flew to Adelaide and toured southeastern Australia and New Zealand with them. Now once again we come together, this time in Edinburgh, to do Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

U2


Our next stop was the Temple Bar area and our next story was about Bono and U2.  Before they were known as U2, they won a competition in the building at the top and then went across the street to the Clarence Hotel to celebrate.  It was an upscale hotel and Bono and his band were not, so they were forced to leave, Bono vowing to come back and buy the place, which he did in 1992.  Patrick told us a Bono joke:  Question: What's the difference between Bono and God?  Answer: God doesn't think He's Bono.
