Who I'd like to meet:
Obviously members of U2! I had the unique pleasure of not only meeting Bono but swapping sunglasses with him for a true once-in-a-lifetime photo op!! You can see the photos and read the full story at www.U2mart.com . Also here is the direct link: http://www.u2mart.com/page.cfm?pageid=247&sid=81
The reason I'd like to meet these guys is simple. Their music and lyrics have been the soundtrack to my life since I first saw them on MTV way back in 1983 with Sunday Bloody Sunday on MTV...back when MTV used to actually play videos. Their electric Celtic sound combined with incredibly thought-provoking and inspiring lyrics made a powerful impression on this Irish boy from the New England! Throw in a household of Irish themes such as my namesake Great Uncle from County Claire, a treasure trove of Irish Step Dancing Trophies from my sister, and the iconic portrait of JFK overlooking the dinning room table every night to name a few and hopeufully you can see how easy it was for me to find my little Irish niche in my family and build a business around four guys in a band from Dublin! There's getting your Irish up and there's Gettin Yer IRISH UP!! :)
Other people I'd like meet:
Dad (you went far too young!)
Steven Spielberg
