I understand that Bono does a lot of free appearances now. He does them Pro Bono . The lyrics of this are a bit creepy though.

This sounds so much better than any U2 song I have heard so far.
Posted 2 years ago by Rstrickster    [ Reply ]
The cranked, plaintive, raw guitar and vocals on this always seem to catch my ear. Now , as usual, a nice, tender U2 touchstone for a time of great upheavals and change...

When I lived in Dublin I was surprised by this too. We could express theories about why, but it's rather intangible. The Dubliners themselves can't explain it, really. I've asked a lot of friends and colleagues this question. However, I will say that seeing U2 in the 3 Arena a few years ago was an emotional experience, for the Irish crowd absolutely loved the band and gave the concert an electric atmosphere I've seldom felt in a concert.

I believe this was the last song Joey Ramone listened to before he died. I think Bill is aware of this because he played Joey Ramone's "Wonderful World" right before this. Nice!

I know a lot of people can't separate the artist from the art, but U2 is a great band and has put out a lot of quality music.... and Bono (bono vox) is a great singer! Deal with it....

Bill, I enjoy your sequencing of songs. Social Distortion covering Johnny Cash, then Cash covering U2, then U2 themselves. Likewise, a song by the Rolling Stones, followed by Dylan singing 'Like A Rolling Stone.' Clever.

i find this song needs me to be in the right mood. if I'm not, I can't stand it. if I am, it definately warrants a rating of 11.

I'm going to make 9 new accounts to rate this 10x10.

I always thought this sounded like Al Green channeled through Bono with Edge borrowing a Red Hot Chilli Peppers riff. But it works

The girl in the song? It's his wife -- he married his highschool sweetie.
And he's probably kicking himself every time some chick in the audience pulls her top up while he's performing onstage...
