Good Morning-
Some years ago, last century, when the world was much larger my teenage self fell in love with Ireland.
It started with a school project for the year.
Write about strife in the history of the world.
I chose 1916 Ireland.
In that year, I learned everything I possibly could.
A few years later when it was time to apply for college, I applied to Trinity College in Dublin.
Imagine my thrill when a huge envelope with postage from Ireland appeared in our mailbox.
I was accepted.
My dreamy romantic plan was to live in Ireland in a tiny thatched cottage by the sea, ride horses on the beach, pick heather on the cliffs and write.
I never went, as my mom explained that JFK Airport was not going to be a weekly commuting hub.
Perhaps one day I shall.
My other little story about Ireland is more recent and took place when I lived in Manhattan.
What I loved most about the city was its diversity. That it was kaleidoscopic in the fact that every day and moment was different.
One day I heard a beautiful Irish voice in conversation, behind me on 5th Avenue.
I slowed my pace.
At the corner, by the red light. I turned to my right side to see Bono standing next to me.
I wanted to simply state my gratitude that 'your music saved me on so many levels. Your gorgeous voice took me on a journey. That during the saddest moment in my life, your music comforted me.'
But instead I remained cool New Yorker who respects another's space, and simply smiled.
Happy St.Patrick's Day💚☘️🇨🇮
Love,
beautflstranger

I like Bono. I like the idea of Bono. I have always liked the clumsy inelegant unironic overly earnest Irish kid who wants you to think he is cool and is always worried that you will stop thinking he is cool and then you’re going to see what a giant dork he is. But we’re all giant dorks; cool people do not like U2, and by that I mean hipsters, because Lou Reed liked U2 and that is literally the only endorsement you ever need in “cool” area. Really doesn’t matter who else signs up! We got Lou.
As I have gotten older, l have stopped wondering why we get things like all those people in the Chelsea Hotel at the same time. Intellectually I get why all the same people ended up at CBGB’s, because the scene was 80 people who all knew each other and either worked at the same places or shopped at the same places everyone worked at. There was still some kind of magic involved. It was not coincidence, there’s no such thing as coincidence and coincidence is you getting off the subway at the same door your sister is waiting to get on. Coincidence is not Patti Smith running into Robert Mapplethorpe because he had rented the apartment her friends had lived in. That is fucking magic. It is just is. There is no rational explanation. That is the same explanation that had Bono and Guggi living on the same block of the same street in Dublin and that same cosmology is how Bono met Adam and the Edge because Larry put up a sign looking to start a band the very same week that he met his wife. It’s still insane to read about and think about that convergence of energy. It’s a little bit of the same ‘this city is small and the kids who don’t fit in are going to get sent to Mount Temple Comprehensive” but again. Magic.
I really liked Caryn's newsletter this morning about Bono's autobiography.

here's to the 63rd trip around the sun for this beautiful human being whose voice basically raised me and i'm sure will be with me for the rest of time.
the familiarity i feel towards this man is so big i feel like he's my uncle or something; i'm forever grateful to my dad for introducing me to his voice and his art.
he's a gorgeous, warm, gentle, proud irish soul and his voice comes from somewhere so deep and remote that makes it difficult to describe; i'm not a religious person but what comes from him is indeed of spiritual nature, and i embrace it every time.
i adore you and i love you very much, i sincerely hope to get to see you someday, i really need it.
here's to you Paul David Hewson.
Bono.
happy birthday.💚
