Re: a question on what bono says in mexico

does anybody have an idea why bono says, "we nearly lost a brother
last night" in the MEXICO gig

Well, this refers to an incident that happened in Mexico before the
show. The Mexican president's son wanted to get backstage and when a
member of the U2 crew asked him where were they going, who they were,
etc. Apparently, some of the kid "bodyguards" attacked this U2 crew
member and beat him up.
It was quite a serious thing, since they considered cancelling the show.

Love to u all
