“Recently, I won a radio contest,” said Letterman. “Winner gets to visit Dublin with Bono and The Edge (radio contest part not true, but I feel like a winner). They showed me around, introduced me to their musician friends, and performed some of their greatest songs in a small theater. It’s a great tour. Get in touch with them ― I’m told there are still availabilities. I’m the luckiest man on the planet. (There are no availabilities).”
“Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman” comes out on Mar. 17, coinciding with the release of the band’s much anticipated album Songs Of Surrender.
