Published September 25, 2005

In contrast to its four-show run at the United Center last May, when U2 was starting to sound like a highly competent but not particularly adventuresome junior version of the Rolling Stones, the Irish quartet was in friskier mood in two encore concerts last week.

Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - The Rock Radio online - http://www.therockradio.com/

Chris Martin and the other members of Coldplay have made no bones over the years about their admiration for U2. And the Irish band's guitarist, The Edge, told us that the feeling is reciprocated: "I think you're talking about an amazing talent there, that band as a whole and Chris as a singer and songwriter. I don't think they sound that like us, but I, occasionally I hear a little influence here and there, but it's always something that I feel kind of proud about, that they enjoy what we do and have done and they're making some amazing music."

10 Questions for . . .BONO

NY TIMES

The singer and global advocate, who was profiled in The Times Magazine, answers reader questions on world poverty and the U.N. summit meeting.

Q. 1. I am the adoptive mother of a West African-born child with AIDS. Our family is often asked what the average American can do to make a difference, even the smallest dent, in the fight to control and treat AIDS in Africa. Which organizations in addition to DATA do you point people toward? Which agencies big and small are making the most difference on the ground?

Whenever we listen to U2, my daughter never fails to say, "I like this man's big voice, and Mom, he fights for Africa!" Heartfelt thanks for your boundless and tireless generosity and evangelization for all Africans!

TORONTO -- "Hello, hello, Toronto!" sang U2 frontman Bono, ad-libbing the opening of the song Vertigo as the Irish rockers kicked off the second leg of their North American tour last night at the Air Canada Centre.

But despite energetically launching the concert -- the first of four sold-out dates at the ACC -- with a song off their latest album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, the Dublin band wasted no time returning to the very beginning.
