Yes, they were in a Jeopardy clue! Under the category "Shop Talk" the
question was "In 1997 the Irish rock group U2 announced their plans for a
concert tour in this 'mart' in Manhatten." Thank goodness someone got it
right. Not everyone in the world outside of Wire is U2-illiterate.

P.S. I got this joke forwarded from a friend, and I am sure Larry wouldnt
agree, but the joke is kinda amusing:

Q: What do you call a guy who hangs around with three musicians?
A: The drummer.
