Quote: Adeybull "Indeed I did, sir! Used to go running round Cornwall Park, and up to the top of the hill. That and along Tamaki Drive...hard to beat. Not been back to Auckland for a long time now, though. Last time in NZ was in Christchurch, couple of years before the earthquake. Been to Eden Park a few times, invariably to watch some Pom team or other being hammered by some Kiwis...
Excellent song off an outstanding album, IMO, and does the same to me. Heard somewhere Bono named the song because the guy took him up there when they were on tour in NZ, and left a big impression?
Back to topic...sounds quite promising about the new lads - cheers!'"
Yes Bono was mates with a Maori guy called Greg Caroll , that's the dude you are reffering to that Took Bono up one tree hill.
Greg was a roadie with U2...Bono forgot something ...left it at home.....Greg borrowed his Motor Bike and went to get it...someone pulled out of a drive way in Dublin as often happens when you're riding....Greg never showed up....the rest is history....Bono found out his mate was killed and wrote the song which was only released on video in NZ nowhere else in the world at the edict of Bono for Gregs family.
Tis a nice story excuse the digression folks. Yes I think Jordan will go ok of the pair.....he is young but has a big future.
