"We will do a commercial with Apple for our album, and no money will change hands, which is important, because we have been offered boatloads of money from many other people." -- Bono, 2004 |

From:
Anna
What name did
Larry call his 3rd child? Nobody seems to know!!!!!!!!
Dear
Anna:
No idea, Anna,
sorry. But I do think his name begins with "A" just like Aron and
Ava. Check the liner notes of ATYCLB and when they start thanking
family members (Bono's are listed first), there's a thank you to "the
three A's," which I think are Larry and Anne's kids.
From: (no
name given)
What kind of
cars do the boys drive?
Dear (no name
given):
Bono:
Mercedes
Adam:
Bentley
Larry: Harley
Davidson
Edge: A
custom-made hybrid-fueled half-sized schoolbus for all the kids and
diaper bags.
Actually, the
boys probably don't drive anything anymore.
