I had to ask 3 people that work at the Lone Palm before I was shown where they are.
Yes, Glenn is very good

I wonder why?
I don't know...please share
he's never commented on the fact that one summer i dated the gal that grew up next door to him and was his grade school friend.
Oh Charlie....I just love you!!!
I was being sarcastic to ducky about the sharing thing

The first time I heard that story Jimmy was not on board the plane, It was on loan to Bono.

Thats what the mainstream news articles from '96 suggest.

Something about they were dropped off somewhere nearby and the plane taxied and then shots rang out.
I'll ask Bono when I see him this fall.

I have always been under the impression that JB was not in the plane when the shots were fired. As he said to Men's Journal a year or two ago, he is an embellisher.

Well, that presents a problem.
I hope it was one of those record company things.
JB being all palsy walsy with Bono certainly lowers my respect level for him.
*shrug*
I'm off to think about other important things, like can I grow tubers in tuba...
