An alien scientist called The Edge / "Out Of Control"! * An alien scientist called Edge plays "I love Holland": "...Only few changes to the set (Out of Control)...Bono told a long fairy tale about an alien scientist called The Edge ("We don't really believe that Edge is a human being...."), who came to earth on a space ship, playing four notes (The intro to Miracle Drug) that meant 'Ik hou van Holland' (I love Holland). At the end of an evening full of smiles and mutual appreciating, Bono donned his cap for All Because of You and called out 'Fares, please'. All aboard the Vertigo juggernaut."

Bono phones in to last ever Mystery Train ‘God bless you and the babies too!’ - July 15, 2006 - Bono paid tribute to radio DJ John Kelly on the last ever Mystery Train on RTE radio 1 on Thursday evening. Phoning in from France ‘under an orange moon, thinking of Enniskillen’, he talked to Kelly about the — wait for it — ‘extraordinary’ show, which has been prematurely axed in a recent RTE programming shake up, as well as congratulating him on the imminent birth of his twins. Listen to Bono's call - mp3. Later on during the show Bono rang in again (as did The Edge), off air, to request ‘Death is not the End’ by Dylan, or Gavin Friday, but Kelly didn’t have it on him. However, he had played the track earlier in the week in memory of Paschal Hanvey (Gavin’s father), who passed away a year ago this Wednesday. We’re very sad to see a great, eclectic and unpredictable show like gentleman John’s go off air and wish him the best of luck, wherever the tracks may take him. The good news is, John Kelly announced he will be back on air in October, on Lyrics FM. (1.30 - 2.30pm, Monday to Friday), with a different type of show. He encourages listeners to join him there.
