Amazing Bono Video and New U2 Song

Wanted to share this email I just got from Ali Partovi, CEO of iLike.

And...it's nice to know that even Bono can forget his own lyrics...

From Ali:

Dear friends, (pls forgive the mass email)

I'm writing to share the coolest accomplishment of my life. You've *got* to check this out.

My brother and I recently met Bono. We told him how iLike can help him talk to U2 fans in video. Inspired, Bono sang us a new song that U2 had just finished recording, and I captured it on video using my Nokia phone!

The result is an *amazing* short clip. You'll be blown away -- and please forward it to your friends.

This emotional video shows an intimate, personal side of Bono. The song, "Wave of Sorrow" (to be released next week) was written 20 yrs ago and is even more powerful and relevant today.

Definitely check it out -- words don't do it justice.

ps. Using iLike, U2 easily posted this clip directly to 1.2 million fans... and the response has been staggering. This could be a landmark development in music history, bringing artists and fans closer than ever.
