U2 at Jimmy Kimmel and A Somewhat Rare Instance of Exact Proof

I had some friends wait outside Jimmy Kimmel, hoping to catch a glimpse of or wave from the band, having missed the cut to get into the taping itself. These were fans who've been to dozens of shows over the years, yet never really found a good opportunity to meet their heroes. 

As you can see by some of the photos below, they got a whole lot more. And, interestingly, my friend was taking video of Bono and happened to catch the fan below getting his huge framed print signed - exactly how he wanted to. The guy asked Bono to write a specific quote, which he did while signing with the nicest signature you could hope for. I've included only a few screen shots of the minute + long video, as the video is not shareable (I may check in with her to see if she can send me the original file).

This band is and has been especially fan friendly throughout their careers.

Clayton and Edge also went down the line, signing for fans - many of which were pretty overwhelmed.

Guess Larry didn't sign for anyone? 

Nope. He can sit in the car and pout if he wants. None of the fans who got to meet the three seemed bothered.

What a cool print!!!

Great story.  And agree - that print is awesome and a keeper for a lifetime.  Fantastic.  

Beautiful, like it when they go down the line signing. Makes me want to come out and try graphing again. Larry is a non signer,quite a few people have gotten the other 3 though. Will be interested to watch their signing habits this tour,sometimes they start out great and it tapers off a bit as they tire of the graphers. Roger Waters is starting his tour also. Ahh, wish I   had a lot more time to get out and chase.

Honestly, I gather that generally the only people who care about Larry signing anymore are the people trying to throw it on Ebay for a grand plus. You have three guys (including the lead singer) who are happy to be good to their fans and one Debbie Downer. That's fine.
