Where the Street Had No Name ... now has a name

Okay, corny title, sorry. But U2 just had a New York City street temporarily named after them! :P

To celebrate the release of the band's 12th studio album and their appearance every night this week on CBS's "The Late Show with David Letterman," part of 53rd street in Midtown Manhattan -- where Letterman films -- was renamed U2 Way.

"The Beatles had Penny Lane, Elvis lived on the end of Lonely Street," U2 singer Bono told reporters and fans on the corner of Broadway and 53rd Street.

"We're here somewhere between 10th Avenue and funky, funky Broadway, somewhere south of Duke Ellington Way and north of Joey Ramone Place we find ourselves ... where the streets have no name," he said.

The renaming of the block of 53rd Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue will last one week, Bloomberg said.

Admittedly, they could've found something a little more creative and less frankly 'corny' than 'U2 Way' (don't ask me for inspiration though o_o), but hey, it could be named 'Asscrack Boulevard' and I'd still be all for it, if it has something to do with U2. :P That's where fanboyism will lead you, I suppose.

Too bad it'll just last one week, though. :(
