Bono interviewed on Irish radio, 1979

Blast from the past! Ignore the Tommy Cooper video, it’s the audio we’re interested in. This is Bono, interviewed for the first time on Dave Fanning’s radio show a month before the release of U2-3. He comes over all wise beyond his years. Enjoy the lovely Dub accent.

    I love this quote, particularly because it’s something Bono/U2 still say today (almost 30 years later!): “…disillusionment with the crap that’s goin’ on in the Top 30… and we thought we’d have something to say…”

    I hope the new music shakes things up again.

  • Like a Song: Gone February 8, 2012
    [Ed. note: This is the 64th in a series of personal essays by the @U2 staff about songs and/or albums that have had great meaning or impact in our lives.] I like the Pop album. There, I said it.
