News: Bono Honored As MusiCares Person Of The Year
Bono was feted with the MusiCares Person Of The Year award on Friday night (February 21) at the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York City. In attendance was a wide variety of figures from pop to politics.
Hosting the event was Ashley Judd, and comic relief was provided by Saturday Night Live's Jimmy Fallon, who made fun of Bono for winning so many awards. Also attending the event were former President Bill Clinton, R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe and bassist Mike Mills, Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, Isaac Hayes, Robert De Niro, and others.
Music stars including Norah Jones, Sly & Robbie, No Doubt, Elvis Costello, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Patti LaBelle, Mary J. Blige, Wynonna with B.B. King, and Garbage all performed cover versions of U2 classics.
Performance highlights were Sly & Robbie with No Doubt performing "Sweetest Thing," Norah Jones singing "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of," Elvis Costello singing "Kite," and Garbage performing "Pride (In The Name Of Love)."
Bono himself closed the show with three songs--"My Way," "Night And Day" (with the Edge), and U2's latest single, "The Hands That Built America" (from the film Gangs Of New York).

Even Better Than the Real Thing (lyrics)
Give me one more chance
And you'll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won't be denied
Well my heart is where it's always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight
(Check it out)
You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...
Give me one last chance
And I'm gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring
You're honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last dance
We'll slide down the surface of things
You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...
We're free to fly the crimson sky
The sun won't melt our wings tonight
Oh now...here she comes
Take me higher
Take me higher
You take me higher
You take me higher
You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing

Beautiful Day (Lyrics)
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
Abd you feel like it's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
Beautiful day

Electrical Storm (Lyrics)
The sea it swells like a sore head
And the night, it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking
On rainy days we'd go swimming out
On rainy days, swimming in the sound
On rainy days we'd go swimming out
You're in my mind
All of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry
Car alarm
Won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake
Dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee is cold
But it'll get you through
Compromise
That's nothing new to you
Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been
In my mind
All of the time
I know that's not enough
Well if the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry
It's hot as hell
Honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Need the rain will wash away our bad luck
Well if the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry

QUOTES
November 1998 - Hot Press Music Awards
"We've decided to write the tunes before we Record them this time. For years we've gone into the studio deliberately not knowing what we were doing and I think this time we wanna make a record as a band, as a quartet. We wanna make a really uncool record -- raw -- that sort of feels like we've gotta do. AND and we don't wanna be in a crap band you know, and it's got to be a great record or we won't be a band" - Bono
January 1999 - MTV Italy
"It's time to make a record that is very direct and is about exactly what's going on, however cool or uncool that might be. It's time, at this point in the week, in the century, in the millennium, it's time for actually no pose, no poise -- just rock, uncool. That's really what I think we're gonna make. I have this idea in my head, just to write as if you're dead -- 'cos when you're dead, you know, you don't care what people think and just go and say what you have to say". - Bono
