As you may know, Dana Fuchs starred in Across the Universe as Sadie, where she quite luckily got to trip out with Bono as Doctor Robert on his magic bus.

Well as it turns out, she kept a blog during the filming, which includes some very PLEBAnesque gushing over our man.

The entire blog is interesting for those of us obsessed with the film itself, but for the entries specifically relating to Bono, look for "The Walrus" (around three quarters of the way down the page) and "Bono Does The Walrus" (closer to the top, about one sixth of the way down).

This is my favourite bit:

He worked his way up to the front of the bus where I sat banging on bongos. When he got to me he suddenly decided to improvise by grabbing my arm and licking it, sucking my fingers, pouncing on me and teasing me with almost-kisses and singing to me with his mouth less than a centimeter from mine. OH MY GOD I was the chosen one!!

I was praying that we’d have to do our usual numerous amounts of takes to get it from all angles. The A.D. asked if we were ready for the next take or if I needed a cigarette first. My work ethic took over so I suggested we just do this over and over until we get it right. It just got better and better. Bono said to me later that he hoped I didn't mind his "deciding to have a go at me." I said, "Oh PLEASE, have a go! Have a few!!"
 
NOT FAIR I TELL YOU, all of us plebans desrve to be on the bus!!

I need a cigarette just from that reading that bit, and I don't even smoke.
ALI is the luckiest girl on the planet.

LOL!!! DAMN LUCKY:censored: !!!!:faint:
 
Thank you DOL13-

The rest of her blog( parts about her and B) should not be missed-the excitement she felt jumps off the page. Lucky, Lucky Dana. Wish we could get the outtakes and turn the minutes into hours of gazing at the sexy Dr. Robert.
:drool:
 
that was HOT !
B sure knows how to drive a woman insane with desire ....:combust:






I so love that about him

DOL.. U ARE THE BOMB GIRL!! :bow:

thanks so much for posting this

here is a good bit:
... No, this is not a twisted porn flick, nor is it a silly dance.

The last few days have been a haze. Really. (Lots of smoking.) But also, 15-18 hour days. Including Sunday.

We had Bono again, and AGAIN I had make-up with him! Both at 8am AND for our after lunch "touchups". Crazy.

I played it much cooler this time and only stuttered once or twice before I could just thank him for the tickets he gave us all in October as well as the Beatles medley he sung from the stage after hearing us yell to him “hey Dr. Robert!!” Then I went on to tell him how hard I tried to get to the stage to help him remember the lyrics to a very old U2 song, (which was ONLY from a live import and not a song they ever recorded in the studio) called "Party Girl". Some fan yelled it out when Bono told the crowd to pick an old one. He was caught off guard, but being a man of his word, he went for it, admitting that he couldn't remember the lyrics. Well, you betcha I knew EVERY last one of them and I'd be damned if I wasn't going to sing that song! So, after trampling a number of small teenagers (hmmm, reminds me of a particular whale watching trip I once took) to get up front, I stopped myself and decided that I'd feel really uncool (and more importantly I'd LOOK reeeeeally uncool) charging my way any further. Hey, I had a movie with him and all, right? So, I settled for SCREAMING EVERY LYRIC OUT AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS from a bit further back in the crowd and to the obvious dismay (and pain) of fellow concert go-ers.

Sometimes being so tall at concerts is a blessing AND a curse.

Well, when I relayed the story to Bono he said: "Ah, Sadie Darlin', had I seen you out there I woulda pulled ya on stage to sing it".

FUCK.

Never again will I let shameful looks from strangers who make me feel like a complete and utter pathetic loser, deter me from a childhood dream.

FUUUUCK!

Okay. Moving on. We then had a great conversation about the Dylan documentary and shared what inspired each of us. Once I just started rapping to him about music, I started to feel in better command of my tongue and jaw, and began to sound less like a deaf mute trying to speak, and more like a confident young woman who might know a little bit about music.


yep... she is most definitely a pleban!! :D
 
Aww, Bono had trouble remembering his lines. He needed his "line shouter"! :giggle:




I would also like to take this opportunity to commemorate my 1000th post. :yippie:

Saw on Amazon that "AtU" is being released on DVD on February 5, 2008. Too late for Christmas, but in time for Valentine's day!
