Impromptu U2 Quiz

For lack of any good reason or any motivation to post something else (for the time being, at least), here are a series of U2-related quiz questions. Can you dig it?

1) Which of the four band members founded the group?
2) In the song "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)", Bono is singing from whose perspective?
3) This member of the band was the best man at Bono's wedding.
4) Name the ambitious tour that followed the release of the 1991 album "Achtung Baby".
5) Which band member has been hiding his thinning hairline since at least 1987?
6) The title of one of U2's songs is Irish Gaelic. Name the song, and the English translation.
7) Who is U2's career-long manager?
8) In the early days of U2's career, they were known for doing something abnormal when they played concerts as a bar band. What was it?
9) Two of the members of U2 were actually born in England, not Ireland. Who are they?
10) In the 1980's, U2 released three EPs/albums containing live material, each of which was named for a lyric in one of the songs shared by the studio and live albums. Name at least two of these EPs/albums, and the songs they're named for.

I'll post the answers this evening. You can lie, cheat, steal, whatever, in order to answer them. If anyone can get all of them, they'll win a copy of my archive CD.
