Bono on Boy (and that new album)

Boy album coverIt’s good to know that even while entertaining Big Stars in France, yer man still has time to keep an eye on what the critics are saying. Seems Bono stumbled on a Rolling Stone review of the remastered Boy album over the weekend, and was prompted to write a reply.

A 1,200-plus word reply, that is.

Here’s a bit of yer man’s memories:

For us music was a sacrament …an even more demanding and sometimes more demeaning thing than music as ART, we wanted to make a music to take you in and out of your body, out of your comfort zone, out of your self, as well as your bedroom, a music that finds you looking under your bed for God to protect your innocence…

Bono was so long-winded loquacious that RS had to reprint his reply as a separate news story. Here’s the full link.

Oh, yeah, he also mentioned what the band is doing now: trying “to finish our most complete and radical album yet.” No mention of Edge being on fire. Yet.

    Edge can’t possibly be on fire yet, or Bono would have burned his lips with all that butt-kissing! All Hail Bono, King of Hyperbole! ;-)
