i dreamed about there being a new version of the muppet show.
i also spent yesterday redoing my shopping cart on institutional green, so now it actually works: http://www.institutionalgreen.org/store
i finished reading U2 Popaganda last night, so now the u2 quote post
Adam: I’d have to say that within the u2 camp, I would definitely be the most diminutive of all the members.
Edge: Adam is the most well-endowed member, no contest, but he wouldn’t know because he’s blind.
Bono: Some people think u2 should be hung. All I’m saying is that we are, in fact, particularly well hung.
“I love women, they’re definitely the stronger sex. Some of my best friends are women. Some of my best friends dress up as women too.” – bono
Interviewer: What do you plan to do after the tour ends?
Bono: Extend the tour… reality isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.
“It’s a mad thing we do. There’s nothing natural about it. I mean, I hit things for a living…and people clap.” – Larry
This next one is for adr2
“Strange things happen, like certain pieces of music you’ve used as intro tapes…you’re at home and somebody puts that on the record player and you suddenly start crawling up the walls, the adrenalin starts going. It’s like this Pavlov’s Dog reaction. There’s a song called “4th of July” that we used to use all the time, and I still can’t hear it without thinking we’re about to do a show.” – Edge
“Religious people, generally they freak me out. Honestly, I start twitching when I’m around them. But sometimes, maybe weirdos are the only people who really know they need god.” – Bono
“It’s really the most expensive demo session in the history of music.” – Bono on Pop.
but it’s such a great one!! i hate that u2 (esp larry) hates pop.
“We’re on a roll. Its getting more like the early u2 records. Really simple, stripped down arragements. That’s what we’re hungry for – music with that life force.” – Edge on how to dismantle an atomic bomb, 2002….
edge…seriously? simple? stripped down? those are not the words i use to describe that album
“I went into that record looking good. Then one day they had a guy doing hair in the studio. Bono said, “dan, why don’t you get a hair cut?” I came out with a fucking mullet. I’ll never forgive them.” – Daniel Lanois
“The lights came on during “Where the Streets Have No Name” and there must have been 10,000 people with tears running down their faces. And I told them they looked beautiful, which became the line in “City of Blinding Lights.” – Bono on u2 playing NYC after 9-11
“One of the ancient privileges of being a freeman of the city is the right to graze sheep on open ground. So the next day Bono and I borrowed a couple of sheep and took them out to eat the grass on St Stephen’s Green. It seemed like a good idea at the time.” – Edge
HA!!!!
“If you really hate me or u2 don’t shoot me – that will only sell another 5 million records…I’m worth more dead than alive! If you really hate me, don’t make me a legend” – bono 1988
“I’m famous because I know Bono. That’s pretty much it.” – adam
“Anyone is welcome to tape our shows and pass them around to their friends. But if you start selling them, we will find out where you park your car and we will pay you a little visit!” – bono 2000
promise? haha
“Be brilliant or fuck off.” – bono
“u2 is not a particularly great name.” – larry
“I had one of the worst haircuts of the 1980s. I know that it launched a million second-division soccer players. But the truth of it, if I’m really honest, is that I thought I looked like David Bowie.” – bono…LOL
“I need them for when I’m being insincere…” – bono on his sunglasses
“You know, it’s no surprise to me how ugly the world can be, but I have to remind myself to pay attention to how beautiful it can be. To see a wave crashing in, or a beautiful tree. Or a beach full of breasts, heh heh.” – bono
