Imagine a cold London night. See The Edge hovering near Bono’s shoulder. Spot the ‘talented mates’ Guggi and Gavin sitting down in the gutter, sipping champagne. Elsewhere, watch Paul McGuinness opening the boot of his car, pulling out a black bag to treat Howie B to a copy of U2’s new album…
U2log.com co-founder Ben Hopkinson talks to Bono at the Osborne Samuel gallery in London on Wednesday night:
Ben: “You made a speech about Guggi’s paintings tonight, can you give us a quote?”
Bono: “It’s a lot of bowls, really…” (laughs)
Ben: “You must be proud to have so many talented mates.”
Bono: “I don’t really understand, you know, what was going on with the water on Cedarwood Road. But I think the three of us, Gavin Friday, myself and Guggi, all had… interesting fathers. I think that was something to do with it — I guess, something to rebel against. Something I hope not to offer my daughter…” (laughs)
So there we have it. Dublin water and Irish fathers are to blame for the unholy trinity, Messrs Friday, Gugs and Bono. Let’s drink to that.

Doesn’t Bono know that YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH THE ART???
Did Guggi know Saatchi was going to be there, he could have filled one of the bowls with formaldehyde and cornflakes and made a FORTUNE!!

Talking formaldehyde… Guggi n Gav spent a day spin painting with Damien the other day. All in a day’s work.
