Oh. My. God.

As far away as you are from me, right now? That’s how far I was from Edge.

Bono explained that Edge comes from the planet Zootopia, and when his spaceship landed in north Dublin in the 70s, it made a peculiar four-note sound, which now precedes “Miracle Drug.”

We were also treated to “Fast Cars” with a grito, “Miss Sarajevo” (Bono’s been brushing up on his Italian), and “Old Man River”.
