The story of the day Bono and Jimmy Buffett went out for chicken and were almost killed by Jamaican police. "It was absolutely terrifying, and I honestly thought we were all going to die"

The Hemishere Dancer seaplane plus (inset) Bono and Jimmy Buffett.

U2 frontman Bono passes through the world with the ease of a man with enough money to do whatever the hell he likes, and enough clout and confidence to choose whomever he does it with. He's a Zelig-like figure, as comfortable entertaining vast crowds as he is attending political summits with high-powered leaders. Put very simply, he finds himself in situations the rest of us never will, simply by dint of being Bono.

Which explains why he was flying on Jimmy Buffett's plane the day Jamaican police filled it with bullet holes.
