Where the Streets Have U2's Name

Bono & Co. kicked off their week long residency on Letterman last night, and because they are such a Big Deal, Mayor Bloomberg has declared that part of West 53rd Street (leading up to the Ed Sullivan Theater) is now temporarily renamed U2 Way. And, perhaps grasping how litigious New Yorkers can be when it comes to icy sidewalks, the supergroup was out there yesterday keeping their new street snow-free. (Letterman also addressed the white stuff in his Top Ten.)

They also performed, of course, and you can watch that here (don't expect anything familiar, they went with "Breathe" off their new album No Line On The Horizon). This Friday they'll take their show to the Bronx to give the staff and faculty at Fordham a little wake-up concert at 8 a.m. (student IDs are already on Craigslist).
