Have a look at this, please:
Sarah, the photo editor at Omnibus, asked me if I knew when or where this photo was taken. The caption included with the photo only says, Bono on stage, cutting up an American flag and throwing it back into audience.
First, that’s a white flag, not an American flag. Other than that, the main question is … when and where was this taken?
I gave Sarah a guess, but thought I’d turn to you, the ultra-smart U2 fans following this blog, to see if you know more about the photo than I do. I’m guessing you do. 
Let me know in the comments, please!
The lead singer for the Irish rock band U2 is expected to attend the 10th anniversary celebration of the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland on Friday, April 11. He will be one of over 200 expected guests to attend. Ireland’s Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, former British premier Tony Blair, US Senator George Mitchell, Northern Ireland politician John Hume and Africa campaigner Bob Geldof are also expected to attend.
The Good Friday Agreement, signed in Belfast April 10, 1998, led to the creation of the administration between pro-British Unionists and pro-Irish Nationalists in Belfast.
Ahern has stated, “It is particularly appropriate that we honour Tony Blair, his achievements and his huge personal commitment to the cause of peace in Northern Ireland as we mark the 10th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.”

After an Easter break, U2 is back in the studio in Dublin to work on its next album with producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. “Everyone [is] still hoping the new album will be out this year,” reads a post on U2.com.
The as-yet-untitled disc will be followed by a 2009 tour, U2’s first since recently cementing a 12-year deal with Live Nation Artists.
In other U2 news, Universal has set a July 22 release for remastered, expanded editions of the band’s first three albums: “Boy” (1980), “October” (1981) and “War” (1983).
Guitarist the Edge is overseeing the reissues, which will include the original album on a single-disc, 180-gram vinyl and in a two-CD package featuring B-sides, rare tracks and live material.
The reissue program began last fall with “The Joshua Tree,” which featured a previously unreleased video for “Red Hill Mining Town” and a host of other rarities.

April 9, 2008 — AFTER more than two years, Bono has finally found a buyer for his co-op apartment at 300 Central Park West. The Post’s Braden Keil reports that the U2 frontman sold his three-bedroom, fourbath co-op in the Eldorado for $4.9 million after first listing it for $5.5 million. Under his given name, Paul Hewson, the singer and his wife, Ali Hewson, paid $3.4 million for the 16th-floor pad in 2001. The couple listed the place after buying a larger duplex penthouse down the street in the San Remo from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in 2005 for $14.9 million.

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Irish rock star Bono said here Tuesday he hoped the San Francisco leg of the Olympic torch relay would be trouble-free as he attended a pro-Tibet rally.
The U2 frontman told AFP on the sidelines of the event at United Nations Plaza that he hoped the furore surrounding the torch on its global relay would force China to address global concern over its actions in Tibet.
"I would like a peaceful outcome, for the torch tomorrow and in Tibet," Bono told an AFP reporter, comparing the debate over China's actions in Tibet to the issue of torture in the US government's "war on terror."
"I hope China takes this opportunity to address the issues," Bono said. "It's like waterboarding in the US; it's important to address the issues."
Around 800 people attended the peaceful rally in downtown San Francisco where a "Freedom Torch" was lit before activists flanked by around 20 police on each side began a march to the Chinese consulate.
San Francisco is preparing a heavy security presence in the city for the US leg of the troubled torch relay, which was severely disrupted by protesters in Paris on Monday.
U2's The Edge was John Kelly's guest on a special episode of 'The View' on RTE One last week.
In 'The View Presents... The Edge' the guitarist talked about the responsibilities of fame, creativity and the band's longevity.
Commenting on how U2 have remained so cohesive a unit over 30 years, he said: "Maybe it's because we were friends before we were a band. So in a sense the friendships were solid, so when it came to those moments of conflicts or difficulty, we kind of were able to skirt around the big conflicts and diffuse the situation and so we're operating in pretty much the same way now as we always did."
