HelloHelloiloveBono | MEMORY FROM 2001

Listening to U2

LOCATION: Walking to work , Buffalo,NY

YEAR: 2001

TAGS: Bono, Larry, Beautiful Day, 911, Towers, U2

PUBLISHED: April 9, 2008

It was the day 911 happened. I was on my way to work, I decided to walk there...so on my way there I was listening to U2's CD, All That You Can't Leave Behind. I had no idea yet that the Towers had been hit! I was listening to "Beautiful Day" (I was thinking what a beautiful day it is!) So when I got to work the Radio, TV were on and they told me what had happened...I couldn't believe it! At the exact moment the 1st plane hit, I was listening to that song! It turned out not to be a beautiful day after all! But the reason I'am writing this down is because, some time later they showed a U2 Elevation concert on TV, Live in Boston. It showed Bono, Larry in a car talking about 911 and Larry mentioned that it had been a beautiful day before it happened! And that is weird because I'd thought the very same thing!

Walked from the train into work thinking how nice it was...how clean and beautiful everything looked...as I approached my office, everyone was gathered around a t.v...then the day became unbeautiful.
