Bono Would Have Gone to Fordham, Maybe

U2 played Fordham University's Bronx campus today in a small, students/staff-only show televised on Good Morning America. Bono told the crowd, “I joined a rock & roll band so I could get out of going to college,” then gave the crowd a rather large boost when he added, “Maybe if it looked like this, and felt like this, things could have been different."

That's music indeed to this Fordham alum's ears. Here's the video:

Interested in your name

Hi Liz,

Are you by any chance from an Austrian family (Innsbruck)?

U2 at Fordham

I saw the performance on GMA. The students looked like they were having the time of their life. What a great backdrop too. Fordham has an amazing campus!
