Dylan Party in Dublin
Matthew Anderson, TheU2Zone News
"The times, they are a-changin'" and nobody knows that better than Bob
Dylan, who, after entertaining 1,000 of Dublin's cultural elite, chose to
spend his time out of mind back in his Merrion hotel suite a mere 30 minutes
after the gig's conclusion.
The concertgoers, however, lived it up as the partying went into the wee
hours in a building site next door to the Vicar Street concert venue.
While the party place may have lacked the usual posh surroundings rock stars
are accustomed to, the star power of its revelers generated all the
electricity required of a VIP shindig.
U2 were well represented at the festivities. Bono and his wife, Ali, fit
right into the crowd even as The Edge and U2 pal Gavin Friday shot the
breeze with Elvis Costello, leaving Adam Clayton to his own devices. The
quartet's drummer, Larry Mullen, Jr., apparently preferred to maintain his
low profile.
Another Irish legend, Christy Moore, was at the Dylan performance, but
skipped the party; perhaps he preferred to grab a smoke and strong whiskey
elsewhere.
At another hotspot, Lillies, REM were probably drinking more than Orange
Crush while they made the late night scene and hob-knobbed with Dave
Fanning, the DJ who had the privilege of premiering Beautiful Day, U2's new
single, on Irish radio.
At that same gathering, Riverdance tapster John McColgan was spotted taking
it easy along with singer Paul Brady and Alison Doody (proving that she did
manage to survive losing the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade).
Ronnie Wood, however, had to make his way home like a rolling stone, as his
wife, Jo, promised trouble if she didn't receive the satisfaction of his
early arrival.
