The Clap

The new U2 album (No Line On The Horizon) 

was released (or 'dropped' as the kids say...) yesterday.

I've heard a bit of it, and I imagine I'll check out the rest. 

I like quite a few of their albums, particularly "Boy" and "The Joshua Tree."

Which takes me to the point of this blog:
This is surely fiction, but it's a great story. Hilarious.

At a U2 concert in Scotland, Bono asked the audience for total quiet.

Then, in the silence, he started to clap his hands slowly, 

once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, 

he said into the microphone, 

“Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”

The crowd was silent as Bono continued the slow clapping.

Finally from the front of the crowd a drunken voice 

with a deep Scottish brogue shouted,
“Well, fookin' stop clapping then, ya evil bastard!”
