Answer Guy: How many mistakes did you find at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
@U2,
April 06, 2003
From: (no name given) I just got back from the rock & roll hall of fame. I found 3 mistakes. How many did you find? Dear (no name given): I only found two:
Which one am I missing?
From: Tim I read an article in the early 90's about U2. Edge and bono were talking about the Salome sessions, and how something was stolen off of them. So my question is..what is the Salome sessions?

From: Mark Do you think U2 could carry on being U2 if, for whatever reason, it lost one of it's members? Dear Mark: COULD they? Sure. WOULD they? I doubt it.

From: SM Are those matches Bono's inhaling in the Pride video (studio version wit Brian Eno)? If so...why? Dear SM: Yes, Bono is most certainly inhaling lit matches during that video. To ask why he's doing it is akin to asking why a dog licks its balls. Because it can...
