Well at least you're honest, Sinister...I was prepared to say "And did you Google that?" Well, you got it partially right....many people forget Feedback but I didn't mention that ititeration of U2 since they hadn;t recorded anything yet, still playing in Dublin car parks and high schools...not even clubs yet. After the brief time they were Feedback (around '78 or so) they became U2 and put out an EP of 3 songs, U23, which is a real collector's item, only something like 1000 copies were pressed. I think "Out Of Control", the band's first single later from Boy, was on it. When I meant EQX *might* have played it, they could have played something from U23 in '79-80, just before "Boy", their debut album, came out. As for Bono's full nick..it was "Bono Vox", and he kept it until '83 or so, when he quietly dropped it. The name came from the display window of hearing-aid shop in downtown Dublin, Edge gave it to him. It means, of course, 'good voice'...(I've been to Dublin and actually seen this place, it's right on the main drag not too far from the O'Connell Bridge, and it's been preserved in its origional '70's state as a Tourist attraction....weird huh.) As a matter of trivia.. Bono's real name is Paul Hewson, but he doesn't allow anyone to call him Paul, not even his wife. She said in an interview once that sometimes she just calls him "B". Even weirder, huh. As for your question...I'll take a gander that you mean George Micheal...or Jon Bon Jovi...unless you mean Micheal Hutchence of INXS, the description could fit any number of singers from back then... (and to the mods, we're not going to clog this pup with a trivia contest, but we couldn't resist!
