so even tho blogger wont let me publish this, i’ll type it all anyway. i started reading “u2 at the end of the world” last night, IT’S SO FUNNY. so have to share some stuff…and i’ll continue to share til i finish the book…and it’s a big book

“So this morning Bono, full of emotion and alcohol, should be sleeping like Lenin but something has awakened him. He crawls out of bed hoping for a glass of water and, in his hungover state, wanders down into the basement. While standing there, naked from the waist down, dressed only in a dirty T-shirt, he thinks he hears low voices and the rattling of doorknobs. Someone is trying to get into the house. He creeps up the stairs and sees that the intruders are already inside! Bono is suddenly aware, like Adam in the Garden, that he has no pants on and his cock is hanging out. As the intruders enter the hallway where Bono is crouching he tries to cover his nuts with one hand while with the other waving and in his hoarse voice declaring, “this is my house! you do not belong here!”
Bono is unprepared for the response he gets from the ringleader, an elderly German man, who shouts back, “This is not your house! This is my house, You get out!” Bono, bent over with his balls in his hand, surveys the gang of home invaders, a middle-aged to elderly family of 6 filing in cautiously behind the firm father, who seems prepared to jump on Bono and wrestle him to the floor. Bono is disoriented. He feels like a kid caught trespassing by his elders, not a wealthy international figure whose accommodations have been intruded upon. “This is my house!” the old man repeats. And as Bono stumbles to try to find his German and sort out the confusion, it becomes apparent that the old walrus is not misdirected. This is their house. They were visiting the western side of town in 1961 when the Wall went up. Now they are home, and they want their house back.”

1990 “Edge has been swimming in experimental music, noise rock, electronics, and alternative guitar sounds. He comes in lecturing his bandmates about Insekt, Nitzer Ebb, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM and Front 242 – stuff that sounds like walkie talkies in washing machines.”

lol edge likes nin!!!

i love vernors…it’s such a great carbonated beverage. it’s too bad it’s so expensive in WNY.

and no one in WNY sells u2’s popmart video. or they just haven’t restocked yet from xmas…annoying. how many stores have i been to looking for it?…2 media plays, bestbuy, borders, target and walmart (i knew they wouldn’t have it)…i think the expensive store in the mall has it but not sure, and not about to buy it there. and i’m positive the music 4 less (haha) store in the outlet mall has it…but dont really wanna pay their overpriced…price…hah for it. music 4 less also had the best of 80-90 video which no other store ever has either. blah

more from the u2 book
on naming Achtung Baby…”It is all part of erecting the mask Bono talked about, the false face that will keep U2 from the embarassment of standing around with their dicks hanging out. Which brings up a good idea! How about for this cover, a big photograph of Adam standing there naked. The band calls in photographer Anton Corbijn and Adam proudly hangs out his manhood for the camera. Adam thinks that if they use this as the sleeve they should call the record Man – the logical sequel to their first album, Boy. Edge thinks it might be funnier to go with the nude shot and call the album Adam, in tribute to both their bassist and the first mortal (who was also the first man to get kicked out of his home and into the cruel world).”

so yeah i’ve been listening to the phantom soundtrack all night…reminded me of when i got it in 7th grade. i wanted to be a professional singer, and i used to practice the song “phantom” all the time so one day i could be Christine in some version of the play. and this one time my mom took me and angela to the outlet mall but we waited in the car for like 2 hrs while my mom was shopping. we listened to the cassette over and over, and the part in the last song “do you spend your days with me or do you send him to his GRAVE!” we would scream, cuz of the way “grave” is super emphasized in the song, and we’d crack up. and i remember when i realized that “point of no return” was totally about sex…and the part in “primadonna” that is about sex…hah yeah, we were in 7th grade, so yeah we were immature
