My city's licensing board (Boston) has closed down the best rock and roll
club in the city The Paradise because of overcrowding violations. This club
right here in Boston is right where U2 first won over an American audience.
It's a rock and roll landmark. Many of the biggest and best have played
here. I haven't got big enough to play there but in a few years my band
would be there. Now we lost our chance to play a stage that helped build U2
in America.
Well, goodbye and goodnight Paradise.

     One Hope,
