He's not, where are you seeing gloves?

In the I Will Follow video from SNL that Vansmack posted. Fingerless gloves.

Nah, I don't think so.  At least his right hand is clear of gloves, but I didn't watch the whole thing again. I think it's just the sleeves of his jacket.  His sleeves are always long, he's a small fellow.

U2 Take New Album to the Streets of New York
 
 1 hour, 59 minutes ago   Entertainment - Reuters
 
 NEW YORK (Reuters) - Irish rockstar Bono brought traffic to a standstill at the heart of New York on Monday, blasting out songs from U2's latest album as the band cruised down Broadway on a flatbed truck.
 
 Office workers on their lunch-breaks whipped out their camera phones to catch the surprise appearance by the band whose album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" is released in Britain on Monday and in the United States on Tuesday.
 
 "I can't believe it. I have to call my mom right now," said one tourist in a crowd of hundreds as Bono sang Christmas favorite "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" in Times Square.
 
 The stunt was filmed for the video of the forthcoming single "All Because of You" and the band was due to make another free appearance in Brooklyn later in the day.

Why do you need to repeat yourself when you're clearly being ignored?
 
 He's not wearing gloves.  The appropriate question is "why are the jacket sleeves so long on Bono's jacket?" and that's a question I think only Bono can answer.

  smackie, i think you, and our respective partners, should meet up when they play red rocks. i've always wanted to see them there.

I'm in! I've been a fan for a long time and am really looking forward to seeing them again. It's hard to imagine how they will top the intimacy of the Elevation tour, but then they surprise me every time.

bunnyman and i were discussing that last week actually. with the way the stage was set up on that tour and the general admission seating, it felt like you were never more than 50 feet from a band member, provided you were in the general admission area.
 
 yay, one more for red rocks!

you got ripped off, they are supposed to pay YOU to take the u2 cd

Sorry, my 17" monitor screen the gov't loans me must be inferior to your jumbo screen. Uopn closer scrutiny, y'all are right, his jacket is too big. No gloves at all. Thought maybe he was doing a Michael Jackson tribute, but guess not.

U2 isn't my favorite band...that would be the Afghan Whigs, who to their credit (despite fan sadness), knew when to call it a day.
