Once Star Gets Good Luck Message From Bono
If you’re a fan of the Irish band The Frames (like me), or loved the recent film Once (like me), chances are you were ecstatic last night when the song “Falling Slowly” took home an Oscar.
What you might not know is that Glen Hansard, the male lead and co-writer of the song, received a special text message from our favorite front-man before the ceremony.
Read the full story here.
It really is great when nice guys finish first.

I was so thrilled when Glen and Mar won! And it’s nice to know Bono and I have something in common.
I would have been seriously ticked if one of the THREE songs from “Enchanted” won. I mean they’re cute and all, but they don’t really stand on their own. And “Falling Slowly” is brilliant! (I’m a little perplexed as to why “Enchanted” got three nods but “Once” only got one. The entire soundtrack is phenomenal.)
I loved that they let Marketa come back out after the commercial to give a speech after she was cut off earlier. She deserved that moment.

I think it’s hilarious that Bono texts - what a social butterfly.

Am incredibly excited - just got a ticket to see these two perform in Seattle in April!
