Bono and company were in Charlotte last night for a simply inspiring, heavenly, and perfect-in-every-facet concert. The concert opened with Bono coming on stage wearing an unprecedented three pairs of sunglasses! I couldn’t believe it; I was so overcome with joy that I fainted. I came to after what I can only imagine were the best renditions of the best songs ever written.
The show continued with a 45 minute lecture on how grateful we should be to have had Bono actually allow us to see him in person. Can you believe it!? He’s probably cooler than Jesus.
At this point in the show, I really had to go pee, so I went out to find the bathroom. Unfortunately, I got lost and it took me 40 minutes to find it and get back so I missed probably like the next six songs. I’m positive they were awe-inspiring though.
Oh! So get this. They were selling You Too Noise Canceling Headphones at the souvenir stand, so I totally picked up a pair. I tried them on when I got back to my seat and it was amazing, I couldn’t hear anything! While I sat thinking about how awesome these headphones were, I watched Bono talk to us some more.
My friend told me later that his favorite part of the show was when Bono helped us all reminisce the days of elementary school by counting in foreign languages. I so totally remember that lady who came around once a week for 15 minutes to teach us French. Thanks Bono!!
I finally took off my headphones in time to hear Bono’s closing address about how Africa needs to be saved. I can’t help but feel that North Carolina is now less impoverished because Bono graced our state with his presence. Long live Bono!!
All in all, I’d have to say that this was the most amazing show I have ever been to or will ever go to. Even though I didn’t actually get to hear any of the songs, I know they had to be really awesome. Plus, I got some freakin’ sweet noise canceling headphones. I can’t wait to see You Too again!
