Bono’s either making hits or taking hits ...

OH, to have been a fly on the wall in Finnegan’s bar.

Last Tuesday, the hostelry in south county Dublin was the location of a lunch for Michelle Obama and her two daughters. Chief among the hosts was Bono, up there once more, representing d’oul country.

Bono was accompanied by his wife and two sons. What the respective first families of the USA and Irish music discussed is of little interest. What would have riveted my fly on the wall was the discussion between Bono and Neil Young, in the same venue last Sunday. Reportedly, the two men shared pints in the aftermath of Young’s concert in the RDS on Saturday evening.
