U2 Rocked!!!

Dear Roxy,
I think we all know who your daddy is: A-ROD!!! As if there was any doubt. He should have an extra million dollars in his already hefty bank account. So I will take this time to congratulate and brag about ALEX RODRIGUEZ - MVP, MVP, MVP!!!!!
OMG! I had a wild Monday. So, I woke up sick in the middle of the night Monday and had to go to the ER... So now it's Monday night, and I am at the U2 Concert!!!! OMG, does Bono rock or what? He is so talented and the concert was magnificent.
They had these huge lighted curtains that showed everything from great light work, to people and different countries flags. They also had these huge video screens around the stage that showed them of course, but throught the concert, they showed everything from human rights to the One Campaign. Bono asked everyone to take out their cell phones. It was sooo pretty. It looked like a sky with bright stars. Anyway, he then proceeded to tell us to send a text message to the One Campaign to end poverty and AIDS. It was just incredible. Big thumbs up to that. Oh, yeah, and there was this automatic text reply that said, "Hi, this is Bono, thanks for signing up to the One Campaing.....". And at the end of the night, they showed some of the many people's names who sent the text.
There was this other thing that he did that was amazing too. Howard Cohen from the Miami Herald couldn't have explained it better: "During the new song, Love and Peace or Else, Bono wore a headband with religious symbols and told his gathering that the message meant, ''Coexist.'' Lighted curtains bore a crucifix, Star of David and crescent moon. ''We're all sons of Abraham,'' Bono said, tearing into the 1980s political anthem Sunday Blood Sunday. `This is your song now, America.'''
Everything was done in great taste. OK, so pretty much everything was great.
OK, so after seeing Maroon 5, 3 Doors Down, Green Day, Audioslave, and U2 in one year, I'm concert-out... till next year that is, unless Puddle of Mudd is coming, are they?


PS Did you get lost on the way to the game? I went to Aventura Sunday afternoon and saw that it was the Turnpike exit you needed to take... So there you go, take I-95 to the Turnpike exit, pay the toll and the first exit should leave you right at Dolphins Stadium, not Joe Robbie or Pro-Player, Dolphins!
