How To Date Airhostesses And Blondes
... ‘Have They Done Another Achtung Baby?’ and other weird and wonderful interpretations of the acronym HTDAAB!
Just before we revealed the title of U2’s new album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, a few days back, listeners to the Zane Lowe show on the UK’s Radio One www.bbc.co.uk, were given a clue.
Well, sort of.
They were given the acronym HTDAAB – the first letter of each word in the title of the album. And Zane invited listeners – and what a creative crowd they are and with so much time on their hands – to predict the exact title of the album.
Here’s what they came up with – including the name of contributors, where we know it, in brackets.
Frankly, rather too many of them sound perfectly plausible!
