"I was one of 20,000 screaming fans," Microsoft Corp.'s co-founder Gates told Reuters. Gates, the world's richest man, said he got to know Bono through his work with his philanthropy. Gates said that Irish rocker Bono was staying with him and that the two hung out together after the concert in Seattle.

Great that philanthropy can bring people together and all, but I LOVED this next quote!!

Asked if their friendship would entice him to buy one of Microsoft rival Apple Computer Inc.'s black-and-red U2 edition iPods, Gates said: "Absolutely not."

Too bad, Bill--I'm not quite ready to buy a Mac yet, but I sure have succumbed to the Ipod experience!!
