U 2 rocks to new legendary status
By Nekesamumbi Moody
Associated Press Music Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Minutes after
being officially bumped up to
legendary status after a raucous,
sentimental induction into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, U 2
headed to the media room to
answer questions about their
momentous honor.
But perhaps only a rock band
fronted by Bono would first be
asked about everything but
music.
"Bono! ... What about the Nobel
Peace Prize?" one reporter called
out, asking whether his mission to
eradicate third-world debt would
get him the honor.
"Rock star is already having
the cream of the cake," Bono
replied.
Another wondered whether he
would assume the presidency
of the World Bank, as the latest
Bono-leading-the-free-world
rumor would suggest.
Over U2's 30-year journey from
the streets of Dublin, Ireland,
to becoming the world's most
important rock band, there
have been times when Bono's
charisma, his charitable efforts
- and now a fashion line - have
eclipsed his collaborators and
lifelong friends: guitarist The
Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and
U2's Bono leans into the microphone at the 20th Annual Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame live at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, NY.
Enjoy high speed internet in your room, free cable with HBO.

But on Monday evening, their
rock peers recognized the
collaborative achievements of
perhaps the most groundbreaking
rock group in the past two
decades.
"Uno, dos, tres, catorce," said
Bruce Springsteen, quoting the
Spanish countdown in U2's recent
hit, "Vertigo," as he inducted the
band into the rock hall with a
loving, humorous tribute.
"The translation is one, two,
three, fourteen. That is the
correct math for rock 'n' roll. The
whole had better equal a lot more
than the sum of its parts - or else
you're just rubbing two sticks
together."
On a night when The Pretenders,
The O'Jays, Percy Sledge and
blues legend Buddy Guy received
keys to rock's exclusive club, U 2
was clearly the star attraction.
"They are the keepers of some
of the most beautiful sonic
orchestration in rock and roll,"
Sprirtgsteen said.
After U 2 performed some of
their biggest hits, everyone, from
Catherine Zeta-Jones to grizzled
industry folk, jumped out of their
seats to cheer them on.
Highlights of the induction
ceremony will air Saturday on
VHI. Hall of fame members are
permanently enshrined in the
Photo by David Atlas/Rolling Stone
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
Cleveland. Musicians, industry
professionals and journalists vote
on the inductees.
U2's induction was hardly the
evening's only highlight.
The O'Jays are best known for
their work with Philadelphia Soul
producers Kenny Gamble and
Leon Huff, but the gospel-styled
singers are actually from Canton,
Ohio. Their hits include "Back
Stabbers," "Love Train" and "For
the Love of Money."
After film clips showed them in
wild tuxedos during the 19705, the
quartet wore simple black suits to
perform a medley including each
of those songs.
They were inducted by Justin
Timberlake. "Anyone who's ever
written, produced or performed
something soulful stands in the
shadows of these giants," he
said.
If nothing else, Sledge's voice
has been the backdrop to
countless romantic encounters.
The Southern soul singer is best
known for "When a Man Loves a
Woman."
Rod Stewart called it "one of
the best performances I've ever
heard and I'm sure you've ever
heard."
The Pretenders came from the
same rock generation as U 2.
Ohio native Chrissie Hynde was
a tough but tender role model
for women, singing "Brass in
Pocket," "Precious" and "Back on
the Chain Gang."
The band formed after Hynde
moved to London to be part of
the city's fertile music scene.
She's soldiered on, with drummer
Martin Chambers, after guitarists
James Honeyman-Scott and Pete
Farndon died as drug casualties.
"They went through all the
heartache that rock 'n' roll is built
on - they lost two band members
and they never gave up," said
Neil Young, who inducted the
band and sat in for a ferocious
performance of "My City Was
Gone."
