This past Wednesday, the rock n roll deity known as Nick Cave did an interview with Alan Cross live at the Indigo bookstore in the Eaton Centre to promote his 2nd novel The Death of Bunny Monroe. I'm a huge fan of his and went with a friend to go check it out. Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to say hello bc there were hundreds of punctual people in line ahead of us. Who knew he could draw such a big crowd to a book signing?
After our pilgrimage to the Eaton Centre we had to bolt to the Rogers Centre for the first of two sold out U2 shows. I'm not a big fan of theirs, but it was definitely one of the coolest stage setups I've ever seen. I was in the nosebleeds and 'the claw' literally went above me.
The next day I was wandering on Yonge Street while taking a break at work and saw a crowd gathered at the Edge studios. I easily maneuvered my way through the crowd to see who or what everyone was looking at. Then I saw this:
I'm sure that other people present would have appreciated being this close to Bono's shades way more than I did, so I find it strange that I was able to walk right up next to him while there were several hundred fans jockeying for position. I really don't understand how it was possible. Perhaps this posting was meant to be. Either way, it was nice of the band to take some time away from meeting with world leaders and saving the planet to do a radio interview for their fans.
