Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What is Bono up to? This gives a clue:
Apple has sent invitations out to some news outlets announcing a "special event" in San Jose next Tuesday, the 26. The invite text reads: "Steve Jobs, Bono and The Edge invite you to attend a special event."
Apple Special events are generally related to new product announcements and introductions. Past special events have included the unveiling of the iPod and Apple Retail stores, as well as the XServe.
Maybe the "Revolution" that Bono mentioned is an attack against Microsoft....
Actually, I heard somewhere that Apple is gonna make available a special-edition black iPod that comes preloaded with every U2 album.

I don't think that there are a lot of people that I liked in highschool that would actually make me squee and stop breathing, but Bono would do it.
I would try really really hard NOT to squee and stop breathing, which means I'd probably blush and stammer and say something nonsensical, then bounce about 10 feet in the air as soon as I was done talking to him.
Which is to say: Great picture, Alicia. Do you work at Starbucks headquarters, or were you just randomly there?

Sigh. I like the commercial, but I still wish they weren't doing this corporate partnership thing with Apple. It seems so Aerosmith of them.
Maybe I should just be happy the product is still music-related, and not, say, Nikes.

Unfortunately they can't go back in time and make it a better album.
Apple Special events are generally related to new product announcements and introductions. Past special events have included the unveiling of the iPod and Apple Retail stores, as well as the XServe.
There's a limited edition iPod to be released with the new U2 album preloaded on it. That's probably it.
More on the briefcase thing:
When fandoms collide: The people behind that U2 blog, are also responsible for Whedonesque.

Actually I think that U2 have some kind of small stake in Apple. IIRC they invested heavily in some small Irish tech company that has a technology partnership with Apple.

Hey, congrats, Alicia!
So, were you embarrassed to be meeting Bono? I've been working on a piece about how embarrassing I find meeting admired celebrities.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh god Hayden. I was so embarrassed when I went to a Dwight Yoakam signing and he remembered me from standing in a previous line for signitures (there was a limit to # of albums to be signed and I had something like 12 there). Wanted to die, could not speak or smile or even tell him that I really enjoyed his songs, although with all but one of his albums there I guess that was obvious.
Also terribly embarassed when I met a favorite college basketball player, but I think that had more to do with people I knew screaming "She thinks you are so hot" when I was talking with him.

Yikes! I had Richard Thompson remember me from a particularly dumb hat I was wearing at two shows 4 months apart. I still have gotten over the embarrassment from that, and it was 12 years ago. He said, "Hey, you're that guy with that silly hat!" I realize he meant to be chummy (after all, the man sports a beret), but, y'know, goodbye cool, hello Silly Hat Guy.
