| Planning a Night With Bono |
| Posted by: dever on Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 03:00 AM |
A pre-planning session for the "Tinseltown to Gotham" party at Cipriani's...
Bono: So, anyways, I was thinking that now that I've been nominated for a Nobel peace prize I need an entourage at the party. It's just seems fitting. I mean, I'm not responsible for the deaths of countless Jews like Yasser Arafat, nor have I slaughtered entire villages as Le Duc Tho has, yet I was still seen fit to be nominated for such a prize. Perhaps they find me as ineffectual as Jimmy Carter and Kofi Annan. Anyways, here's what I was thinking... we can bring in a whole parade of stars like Carly Simon, Wynonna Judd, Patti Labelle, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow and Gwen Stefani to all say great things about me and then, and this is the best part, we'll bring in 20 starving, orphan Ugandi kids.
Jimmy Fallon: What kind of second-rate party does Nicole Miller throw? I mean, since when do we need to bring our own waitstaff?
Bono: They're not going to be there to serve us. They're there to highlight the plight of third-world children because of oppression by the capitalist military-industrial complex in wealthy nations. Do you realize that a third of the Earth's population is incarcerated by poverty because their governments are expected to pay back the loans they took from wealthy countries and international banks?
Faith Evans: Oh, don't get him started, we'll be here all day. I don't want to talk about poor people on the other side of the world. Poverty is just the pits.
Bill Clinton: Bono, I'm all for getting Sheryl Crow and Gwen Stefani there. I'd like to "feel their pain" if you know what I mean, heh heh. But if 20 little black kids would do it for you, then go for it. It's never stopped Michael Jackson.
Faith Evans: I don't know, having little orphan children standing around looking like they're starving is just the pits. It's so Sally Struthers.
Jimmy Fallon: Hey, all I know is those kids better be quick with the gin and tonics for Jimmy, or I'll show them what it's like to be oppressed...
