"The way you write music is at once humdrum -- there's a fridge in the corner with apples and a bottle of milk, and there's a fax machine -- and at the same time you're waiting for a miracle, or else it's just the sum of the parts." -- Bono, 2000 |

U2 to Touch Down at Super Bowl
Las Vegas Sun,
November 20, 2001
Not only did U2 entertain a sellout crowd at Thomas & Mack Center on Sunday, the band also managed to secure a nice deal with the National Football League.
According to insiders close to the NFL, bigwigs associated with organizing the Super Bowl XXVI halftime show have been trailing the Irish band on its last few concert stops -- and an agreement for U2 to headline the show could reportedly be reached as early as today. Apparently Sunday night's performance in Las Vegas was all NFL corporate honchos needed to assure themselves that U2 would be the best pick to lead halftime entertainment at the Feb. 3 Super Bowl in New Orleans. Last year's halftime show featured the schizophrenic combo of Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Sting, Ray Charles, Mary J. Blige and 'N Sync. And Sunday was truly a beautiful day for local photographer Denise Truscello. Truscello was part of the large pack of paparazzi shooting U2 up close during the concert -- and when I say up close, I mean up close. U2 frontman Bono, who spent part of a song rolling on the stage's walkway in front of photographers, apparently fancied Truscello's lens (or the face behind it) so much that he seemed to momentarily forget where he was. After refusing to leave Truscello without something to remember her by, Bono boldly pushed her lens aside and planted one square on the lips. The kiss shocked Truscello and her fellow photogs, but drew cheers from the audience and was long and very, very friendly. © Las Vegas Sun, 2001. All rights reserved.
