HEY, BONO!
You're 44, dude! Isn't it time to put the leather trousers away?
"I did put them
away, but then I got into the old leatherette in the early '90s. Hmm, warm leatherette. You have to tread very carefully with
shorts and leather trousers. And as for leather shorts..."
HEY, LARRY!
Get a real bike! Don't you know Harleys
are for pussies?
"What can I tell you? Put some class on your ass, ride a Harley. I hate the idea of being a weekend
warrior, but I'll go for a decent-length ride now and again."
HEY, ADAM!
Are you done with all those supermodels?
"I
have. But they just won't leave me alone."
HEY, EDGE!
Why don't you put the effects pedals away and play
a proper tune?
"I think we have. But sometimes our best songs come out of those weird sounds. 'Beautiful Day' came
about because of Brian Eno's loop, so don't knock it!"
HEY, LARRY!
Why are you still rockin' the James Dean
look?
"I'm not only still rockin' it, I'm still workin' it."
HEY, ADAM!
Ever thought about playing
all the strings on the bass and not just the thickest one?
"Some people need to play the thinner strings. I don't.
I'm happy with the fat fella."
HEY, BONO!
Have you, like, totally forgotten how to party?
"I think
it was Marianne Faithfull -- who knows about these things -- who said decadence is not about living the life and tasting the
finest wine but having the finest wine and not tasting it. I think she called it 'the sweet aroma of spoiled opportunity.'
"
HEY, EDGE!
When are you gonna let us see what's left underneath the hat?
"Hats off, Blender,
to the most original question ever. Albeit slightly hair-ist."
HEY, LARRY!
When are you gonna quit those
arty rhythms and play some real rock drums?
"I'm practicing, man. Give me a chance."
HEY, ADAM!
Please
tell us you're not going [to] get your cock out on this sleeve?
"I think I might retire that old friend...for now."
