U2 seems to enjoy forcing their music on people unexpectedly, and yesterday, straphangers navigating Grand Central’s subway labyrinth were coerced into attending a concert with Bono & Friends, who performed “Angel of Harlem” by the 42nd Street S shuttle. Cute that you thought you’d be able to read in peace. Stereogum reports the surprise concert…
