JUNE 20: Adam, Bono and Bowie / dressed with anti-radiation suits to protest Sellafield / official website!

"Adam and Bono" - june 20, 1990. David Bowie performs in Cleveland, Ohio at Richfield Coliseum. "You know, this was a song written by an Irishman," Bowie explains during the introduction of Van Morrison's "Gloria", "I get the impression it would sound even better if I had an Irishman singing with me...how about BONO?" The crowd roar their approval, and Bono walks on stage, "Well, she comes around here, comes around at midnight. She makes me feel good, but Cleveland makes me feel alright..." Adam Clayton watches from the side of the stage.

"U2 dressed in white anti-radiation suits, masks...to protest" - june 20 1992 At the crack of dawn, U2 step out of inflatable rafts on a stretch of beach beside the Sellafield Nuclear Plant on the North-Western coast of England. Attempts to hold a protest at the facility the day before were blocked by British Nuclear Fuels Limited(BNFL). Dressed in white anti-radiation suits and wearing sunglasses and masks, the four band members roll out several barrels of contaminated mud from the shores of the Irish Sea. A hundred reporters and photographers are present, and the actions of the four members of U2 bring even more media attention to Sellafield. Bono explains to one reporter, "It's kind of absurd that we have to dress up like complete wankers to make this point." The Edge answers a question about why they are involved in the issue of Sellafield, "Sellafield is our back garden. There's a particular school in Dundalk where a lot of girls have left and have had Down's Syndrome babies. Over the years, time and time again, the finger gets pointed across the water. And the idea that this new plant would open up and increase emission by 1000% is completely outrageous."

"Official website" - june 20, 1997. U2 launches it's first attempt at an official website on the MicroSoft Network.
