Bono found himself where the streets have no name this week. The U2 frontman was spotted on the side of the road thumbing a ride in Canada after he and his assistant took a walk in West Vancouver Tuesday and got stranded in a downpour. Luckily, NHL star Gilbert Brule and his girlfriend, Kelsey Nichols, happened by on their way to a local dog park. “I didn’t want to stop,” Nichols told the Edmonton Journal, “but G yelled, ‘That’s Bono!’ ” The rocker and his pal jumped in the back seat of the Edmonton Oiler’s truck, sharing it with his German shepherd. A grateful Bono gave Brule and his gal pal autographed passes to U2’s show in Edmonton the following night. “Thanks for the ride,” he wrote on Nichols’ pass. On Brule’s, he added, “My hero Gilbert.” “I like ice hockey because people who play ice hockey are the kind of people who pick up hitchhikers,” Bono said at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium.
