Actually Vger........it was Steve Perry who said Howard Stern looks like Big Bird. I always knew Steve was not real tall. He is about my husbands height. I am 5'2". No problem..... :wink:

Totally agree he did not do it the same once and all the ways were incredible...it makes the re-make of the song seem so silly.....it was a one shot deal. It's really nice to be able to watch this and see how it all came together....very cool

Why does Darryl Hall have to hold the sheet music every time?

I agree! You guys should check out her Body Acoustic album, some awesome versions of Time After Time and True Colors on there, and a couple of other songs I like a lot called Water's Edge and Fearless.

I'd want to grab the mike, tear it off from whatever is holding it; wrestle it to the ground and then stomp on it. After a minute or so I'd regain my senses and hang it back up but after the 10th time of singing my line and listening to the catterwalling or musical abilities of others...I'd sure be thinking that way. :lol:

and if you're not holding the music; then what do you do with the free hand? Let it hang there or stuff it in your pocket? and you can tell when you're nervous; looking back at some of these guys there bodies look so tense. I guess singing with all those other singers would give me the willies too. :roll:

+1

My favorite part is at :45 in.....Steve wanders & riffs his part - facing AWAY from the mic - and you can hear him above everyone else. :shock:

Perry's probably 5'7". LOL. I've found a lot of shorter men add an inch. I wonder how tall Bono is. I bet he's fudged on his height. He looks short. Roland Orzabal said 5'8". I bet he's 5'7" too, :lol:

Actually, I think a majority of men add an inch all the way up to five eleven. Five eleven guys say they're six foot b/c they like the sound of it. :lol:

Here's a post on a blog discussing Bono's height: LOL

"When you see Bono , next to Sean Penn and Penn looks 4 inches taller look at Bono's feet . He's wearing damn platforms (wedgies they call them in Europe) I had the fortune of spendng a drinking night with U2 when no one knew who U2 was and Bono didnt have the bucks for the wedgies and he's slight shorter than me and I am 5'6" - The guy hovers arounf 5'4" to 5'5" . Should just do a Prince and wear Stilettos. Like really .. who cares Mr. Bono ? the music knows no height."

I would say Bono is probably five five to five five and a half probably b/c he always wears those shoes to add height and he's still short. I don't know why he cares. He was gorgeous in his earlier years, except maybe b/c he can get chunky lately, and extra height maybe slims him down. :lol:
