U2's lost 'October' lyrics returned - Oct 22, 2004

Apparently, I missed this story when it broke last month. It bears repeating, and its absolutely worth sharing.
U2's lost 'October' lyrics returned - Oct 22, 2004
PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A long-lost briefcase full of notes and lyrics that were intended for the 1981 U2 album "October" has been returned, 23 years after it was stolen at a Portland concert.
U2 frontman Bono made the announcement during an appearance before the World Affairs Council of Oregon, saying the returned notes were "an act of grace."

I was there at the World Affairs Council meeting...Bono had received the briefcase earlier that evening, it was so awesome. He told the whole story to us...he was totally emotional about it. Ang
