Shortly after Jacques Chirac was elected President of France in 1995, U2 frontman Bono Vox attended the second MTV European Awards ceremony in Paris. "What a city, what a night," he declared. "What a wanker you have for President!"
["I could go onstage, unzip my pants, and hang my d--- out," Bono once remarked, "and people would think it was a statement about something."]
[In 1988, U2 held a free noontime "Save the Yuppie" concert in San Francisco.]
