Heerlijk uitgeslapen. Tot een uur of elf Om half 1 aanwezig op het postkantoor. Een uur gewacht en ik had een paar van de laatste kaarten. Voor het eerste concert nog wel! Wel in vak 427, ergens in kilometer omhoog, maar goed. Bono hoef ik niet te zien, sinds ik hetero ben.

Bono wants Dylan and Pavarotti to play funeral

Irish rocker Bono would love mourners at his funeral to listen to songs performed by Bob Dylan and Luciano Pavarotti.

The How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb superstar hopes his friends and family will be in floods of tears when they hear Dylan's Death is not the End and Pavarotti singing from La Traviata.

The U2 singer writes in upcoming book Bono in Conversation: "I would like lots of weeping and wailing.

“The music would have to be good. Bob Dylan singing Death is not the End. I think I'll have Pavarotti singing La Traviata."

Irish rock star Bono and his wife Ali Hewson have launched a new "ethical" fashion line.

The aim is to provide stylish casual outfits that are made without economic exploitation. Tom Brook reports from New York.

Rumor: DVD Box Set on the Way?

Editor's Note: Interference.com member bonosleftone posted the following information today about a possible forthcoming box set. We are looking into this but, at this moment, it is unconfirmed. Stay tuned to Interference.com for updates.

There is apparently a box set being planned that is due for release in the next few months. I talked to a friend of mine at Universal and this is what will be in/on it, there should be an official announcement in the next couple of months.

The title is "The U2 Live Compendium"

Disc 1 - Red Rocks Complete
Disc 2 - Zoo TV Sydney
Disc 3 - Popmart Sarajevo
Disc 4 - Elevation Notre Dame

There will also be a 5 Disc box in a metal case like thing that has Dublin 12/31/89 as an additional disc. All discs have extra materials, clips from other gigs, interviews etc. ZooTv, Popmart, and the Elevation discs have PC material with stage schematics and 3D virtual crap.

Dont know release dates or anything but this is whats gonna be on there apparently.

Moet het alleen nog zien zal, zoals gewoonlijk, wel weer niet kloppen.
Zou het wel vaag vinden als ze Popmart Sarajevo uitbrengen, en niet Mexico. Sarajevo is ook wel gefilmd, maar Bono had last van z'n stem, dus waarom zouden ze die op DVD uitbrengen als ze ook gewoon Mexico kunnen doen.

En Notre Dame? Daar is wel gefilmd, maar voor een webcast...

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Brad Pitt is among the A-list celebrities featured in new public service announcements for a campaign led by U2 singer Bono to fight poverty and AIDS.

The campaign was not immediately asking for donations but simply raising awareness and recruiting new advocates, Bono said Wednesday at an event announcing the public service announcements

"We're not just asking for people to put cash in the pot here," Bono said. "Americans are generous, we know they'll do that. We're not actually asking for their money, we're asking for their voice."

Pitt, who visited Africa after being inspired by Bono's advocacy, said he was struck by how extreme poverty there has made it difficult for the sick to gain access to drugs to minimize the effects of AIDS.

"I've seen it, I've been there, and to walk away from it and turn my back makes me culpable," Pitt said. "And I can't do that."

"Do we really believe in our hearts that we're all equal? And if we believe this, what are we going to do about it?" he said.

Pitt said he believed deeply in Bono's effort, titled "ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History."

"We can do this. We can do this," he said of eliminating poverty. "It's ambitious, but we can do it."

Pitt, who stars with Angelina Jolie in the upcoming "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," said he was returning to Africa in several weeks but was unsure what else he would do for the campaign.

"This is just a beginning for me," he said.

Bono, who has been nominated for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, said it was "wholly unacceptable" for children to die for lack of cheap immunizations.

"I'm going to spend the rest of my life on this, I'm going to make that kind of extreme poverty history," Bono told reporters.

"I'm in," Pitt responded.

Bono and Pitt were joined by Jack Valenti, the former top lobbyist for the film industry, and actor Djimon Hounsou, a native of Benin.

A 60-second ad to air Sunday night on various networks and cable channels features actors, musicians and religious leaders. Among them are Jewel, Penelope Cruz, Tom Hanks and Mos Def.

Also featured are Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, and Hounsou as well as evangelist Pat Robertson and the Rev. Frank Griswold, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States.

Completing each other's sentences, each appear in black-and-white, peering into the camera and saying a few words.
