U2: The Streets Have A Name

Irish- rockers U2 have had the ultimate honour: having a street named after them. Part of New York´s W53rd route has been renamed - at least for now - ‘U2 Way´ by mayor Michael Bloomberg.

U2 vocalist Bono told MTV News: “ "New York is a place that people come to [and] feel at home. And we truly do feel at home here in New York.”

Of course, back in 2004, Aussie rockers AC/DC were granted a similar honour in Melbourne, although AC/DC Lane is now reported to be littered with empty bottle and used dunkies (well, possibly not)...

Who else should have a thoroughfare named after them?



Tom Robinson 2-4-6-8 Motorway Way? Randy Rhoades Road? Keith Moon Crescent?
