Somewhere long ago I read something about Edge describing how Desire came about — how Edge was at his home and fiddling about like Edge does, ya know, with his guitar appendage, coming up with a sweet riff that would soon be cemented and known as Desire.
As the story goes: Edge’s doorbell rang, and Edge couldn’t drop his guitar, and most certainly couldn’t stop playing the newly minted Desire riff for fear of forgetting it. But Edge, being such a nice guy, had to answer the door, so he did as he continued to play the Desire riff. At the door was the postman.
The story ends there, but I assume the postman handed Edge a bunch of Bills (why not?), and thus (Money, money, money, money, money, money) Desire was born.
Welp, that’s my extremly obscure U2 conspiracy theory for this week. Next week I hope to have a funny U2oon…
