U2? I, too!

It was pure chance, and luck, and love, that we somehow scored tickets to THE BIGGEST musical event of all time. But when Jami called to say she had four free tickets to that weekend's U2 concert at the Rose Bowl, we couldn't possibly say "no." No rock God would ever forgive such blasphemy. What followed was several days of frantic babysitting and parking arrangements. Totally. Worth. It.
Bono (not bow-know, mom) took advantage of his audience of 100,000 fans who were present and another seven million or so watching live to make sure this wasn't just a fabulous musical show, but a platform to communicate and educate the world about human rights violations and politics. You gotta respect that someone has that much clout and uses his power smartly and wisely.
