U2 my favorite band since 1983. On a cold winter night while doing my Homework as a teen I predicted U2 would be massively successful and special. I just knew no other band was like them ❤
Great tribute. Some Irish are often quick to knock their own high achievers but many of us are very proud of what U2 and many other Irish artists have achieved on both the domestic and international stage. Well done lads!🎉🎉🎉
Aside from a pretentious cnt, what have they achieved?
Greatest band of our time..well deserved recognition..love from India 🇮🇳
This might be the most well spoken I've ever heard our President. A well deserved award for an amazing band! Saw them at the Sphere in 2023. Fantastic!
love what U2 have done with their art and their platform. Truly great boys. I've met them, totally genuinely lovely people and true artists
Listening to U2 nearly all my life ❤️
Insightful thoughts and well deserved Award to U2 --- Congratulations U2
He speaks so well, so confidently and so spirited!
U2 made me want to write poems. As a young teen they were my first musical love, back in 1986. I would be amazed by songs on every album. Thank you U2.
Congratulations to my all time favorite band and well deserved tribute from President.
A big fan from Tokyo Japan.
Excellent tribute for one of the worlds greatest ever bands. Well spoken .
What an eloquent speech!
The Irish ☘️ do make the best poets … and well, one of the best bands ever! Indeed ❤!
Poe was not Irish, Shakespeare not Irish, Frost not Irish, Dickinson not Irish?
Not a Biden fan (understatement of the year) but Joe did a good job here.
He certainly wasn't my first choice for President (I didn't really like any of the choices) and I haven't agreed with some of his policies, but I do think he's a sincerely good man.
@@hutch1197 We'll have to agree to disagree on that one not sure there's anything good about Joe Biden. Pretty sure he'll go down as the worst president ever. At least in modern times. Jimmy Carter ur off the hook!!
@Jason Keith I think that's quite an exaggeration. I'd say he's mediocre. But one of the worst? That's a bit much. In today's polarized climate,, a President from either party will be hard pressed to get anything more than a 40% approval rating. The worst President in modern times remains George W Bush. And I voted for him!
An impressive and well-deserved speech!!
Wonderful words from a beautiful Irish descendant. We see you Joe Biden and thank you for honouring U2. Ireland loves you 🇮🇪 ♥
'We get to carry each other...one '
Congratulations. More than worthy of the reward. Over 4 decades of music and a major impact. Far out.
Adam became a silver fox with that amazing head of hair! 😍
These are amazing words!!! God bless U2 and the President of the United States.
Hahaha.
Amen 🙏💫
Hahaha , only U2 ..... Not this nefast president
Wow, that was beautiful, personal and optimistic. Well done.
Well done ...teleprompter.
WHAT A GREAT RECOGNITION BY PRES.JOE BIDEN EVEN THE CRANBERRIES ARE A GREAT BAND FR.IRELAND..R.I.P TO YOU LOVELY DOLORES
Beautiful tribute
Massive fan since Boy came out.
Biden mumbles alot but whb it comes to talking about ireland he's full of life
150 million albums. That's fuckin good going
Nice one B, congrats boys well deserved ✌☘
A man who is trying to change for the good not for self. I wish Americans wouldn’t be so influenced by media Instead of doing their own due diligence
Adam Clayton is one handsome old man.
So is Larry!
Best speech he ever read.
Oink oink
Well done , guys !!!!!
Thanks for sharing this with me ☺️🇹🇭🇨🇦👍
U2 is the greatest band ever!!
Hardly lmao
Hands down! No contest!
Probably The Beatles or Queen are the best ever
Well done.
A really great sprach. Thanks so much
I got teary eyed.
Well, that was Fantastic.
Really well said.
That is a magnificent speech
wow❤
I mean, U2 for president. That’s the U2 way.
❤❤❤
Biden 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏
Im not really a Biden supporter, but.. he did very well on honoring one of Irelands Iconic bands. Thank you.
@SAYWHAT hey dont laugh at me! who are you? your a sinner also.. Bono, has a heart for God! if he is doing this, than the holy spirit will correct him. But they were a great band! You cant take that away from them.
It's crazy, but this is what Kramer told Elaine on her birthday. It's Yeats!
Most drummers are vampires, lol.
Who's this guy?
what are those scarves, because I don't really know what it is ?
Do you mean the multicolored ‘scarf’ you see the members of U2 wearing?
That is the ribbon for the medallion presented to honorees. The rainbow symbolizes the many skills within the performing arts.
Kennedy Center Honors are presented on behalf of the American people for contributions to American culture through the performing arts.
Eloquent....classy....
For an old man, this guy can get around...I'm surprised.
"I remember back in 1960, 60, 68 uh 42, when I was a young boy in Ireland Scotland Irish land and me and corn pop tried out for a band and uh corn pop was going to be the singer and I played the fiddle and we started this band U2 in my mom's garage"
Joe, great speech. Senile my ass.
150 albums sold. Go u2
"150 albums sold among the most ever."
-Joe Biden about U2s album sales
I wondered if I was the only one who picked up on that.
Funny slip, I think he was trying to say 150 million
He made the speech by heart, but was reading from papers when discuss with EC president von der Leyen. Surely this one was more important.😂
i have been listening u2 since 35 years; but i will never forgive then being friends with erdogan and his minions - promoting them at istanbul concert 2010.
albums those grow me are mine not theirs.
I can't even watch this on account of how embaresed I would be for him.
Great in the 80s
Did Trump attend Kid Rock and Ted Nugent's Kennedy Center Honors (White House Reception)?
Biden está para un asilo
Welp, time to throw my U2 albums out. This was sickening.
The Great lose... Whole U2 history with so many wise and kind words trough songs for nothing.... Another war another crimes another disasters another black whole...
Dommage d être honoré par le représentant d un état historiquement meurtrier
The woke hipocrisy is insane.
This band is finished.
Well done gentlemen you truly deserve this
Let's go Brandon.,...wtf is he fckn talking about??
