During the four soul-crushing years I spent at Fordham University, U2 never performed. Not once.

Why the hell they showed up on the quad this morning is beyond me. To jazz a bunch of upper-middle class white kids from Long Island up for No Line on The Horizon? (By the way, it isn't half bad.)

President Father McShane explains: "They chose us because we're in New York, because we are Fordham, because of the warmth of the campus." I'll give him that. Fordham has a lush, green campus. In fact, staring out the window is the only thing that got me through college.

Anyway the article in the New York Times today focusses on how a security guard let a few women from Michigan to slip in to see the show. I hope they weren't terrorists. -SB
