...unimaginable. In 1985, U2 played Live Aid, the Bob Geldof-- organized concert for African famine relief. At the time, it was hailed as a massive success, and in the sense that it got people to briefly engage with another part of the world while watching Tina Turner dance with Mick Jagger, it was.

And as a world-class bon vivant, he became a host and chronicler of swinging London: when he lensed one of Mick Jagger's nuptials, he doubled as best man. Of the '60s, he once said, "We did behave quite badly." And he never claimed great artistry. But he made full use of both his impeccable connections and his sense of fun to chronicle a naughtier--and yet somehow more innocent--time...
