Showbizireland seem to be desperate for a link. So here it is. Now stop spamming us please.
As for that fine British tabloid ‘the Sun’… only if you ask nicely.

Bono in Billboard: “The Edge is very pro-Napster, actually,” Bono says. “He thinks that as long as people are using their computers for music, and not playing mindless games, that’s good.”
“My feeling,” he adds, “is that it’s cool for people to share our music — as long as no one is making money from the process. We tell people who come to our concerts that they can tape the shows if they want. I think it’s cool that people are so passionate about our music — especially about this new album, quite honestly.”
Elsewhere in the magazine, a track by track description of the album.
…I see another ‘classic’ U2 song, says Edge: “When I look at the world is a tune that started off like a really heavy full on rock and roll arrangement, It sounded too easy in the end, too predictable for us so we stripped it down, we kind of rearranged it in a much more constrained way. It’s a classic U2 song but probably done in a slightly different way.”
Sure, they can dress like rock stars,…
but can them climb like them, too?

“This is an idea we stole from the Beatles and ummm we’re stealing it again”

When the band asked him for a ‘starker, less ironic, less garish’ image, photographer Anton Corbijn booked a trip to yesteryear. Lisping ‘Get shum shun on your feishe, Lerry’, the tall and famouz snapped the foursome on familiar ground. All of U2 complained about the cold. McGuinness stressed the importance of ‘not repeating themselves’. The shoot’s photos were quickly ditched.
SPOOF!
Not quite…
Straight from the horse’s errr… bad dog’s mouth: “It’s just a Top of the Pops thing… yanno?”. Errr, no, I don’t? Any of you guys have a telly? Zoo TV blasted my mind. “We’re not even playing… Bono is singing, though…”
Well, hrmpf. And it’s tomorrow btw, at least they got *that* bit right at ShowBiz Ireland. Ploink!
ROOF!
U2 will be playing on the roof of the Clarence Hotel today at 3 pm.
SUMMER RAIN LYRICS
When you stop seeing beauty
you start growing old
the lines on your face
are a map to your soul
when you stop taking chances
you stay were you sit
you won’t live any longer
but it’ll feel like it
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
oooh, aah, in the summer rain
hmmmm
Tequila and orange
Jamaica and rum
at the Morella, honey on my tongue
in a small boat on generous sea
let me be your enemy
a tiny hand, with a grip on the world
holding our breath now, diving for pearls
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
Just as you find me
always I will be
a little bit too free with myself
Just as you find me
always I will be
a little bit too free with myself
oooh. mmm
I lost myself in the summer rain
Now there’s no one else in the summer rain
Raining down, raining down, it rains
raining down, raining down
Just as you find me
always I will be
a little bit too free with myself
Just as you find me
always I will be
a little bit too free with myself
It’s not why you’re running
it’s where you’re going
it’s not what you’re dreaming
but what you’re gonna do
it’s not where you’re born
it’s where you belong
it’s not how weak
but what will make you strong
