Bono and muffins- the true story

[Autumn454]

I know I have said this before, but I don't think everyone saw it because there is so much 'moofin' stuff around here. Okay once and for all, U2 and muffins do not mix. How do I know? I have a copy of Revolver magazine from last fall with this story:

Guy goes up to Bono's NYC apt. to interview him early in the morning. Bono has just moved in and there is little furniture. Bono and the guy are standing on the balcony, looking at the view of the city.

BONO: Okay you stay here and admire the view, I'll go for breakfast. What do you want?

GUY: How about some muffins?

BONO: What are muffins?

GUY: They're round, and people eat them for breakfast.

BONO: *looks perplexed, walks away*

BONO returns with- BAGELS!!!!

LMAO! He doesn't even know what muffins are! He must not know what bagels are either or he wouldn't have got them thinking they were muffins, poor Bono. Oh, the agony of being rich at such a young age you don't get to be an experienced shopper

He DID have to shop some as a teenager- his Dad would give him money to stop by and buy groceries after school and have dinner on the table by the time he and Norman got home from work. Bono was known to spend the money on cool stuff and feed his Dad and brother nothing but SMASH, instant Irish mashed potatoes, until one night Norman got fed up and had a fit and went after Bono!

So, what I mean to say is, muffins are not a U2 staple, they do not have them in their shopping baskets, they do not eat them, they do not know what they are. I just thought this was hilarious and ironic considering the emphasis that has been placed on 'moofins' in this forum!

Of course, we could always introduce the boys to them in our own way!

Heheheh..

I dare someone to take a sign to a U2 concert that says,"LARRY HAS A BIGGER MOOFIN THAN ADAM" with a taped-on printed out photo of the moofin photo.

"Very strange looking object you have at the end of your stick.." - Bono

"Bono looks too intense for me." - Rollercoaster Tycoon park guest

"I was drunk, high on him, a shrinking, shadowboxing dwarf following in his foosteps...badly...STARSTRUCK.." - Bono, on meeting Frank Sinatra for the first time

"Bono? Bono is going to tie ropes around my neck? Wait a minute.." - Edge, when shooting the 'Numb' video

And love is not the easy thing...the only baggage you can bring is all that you can't leave behind.

Yes well I stole it from someone who posted it many moons ago....*YOINK*

 

[spinninghead77]

I love this story. What a cutie pie!!

Maybe the Irish don't eat Moooooofins, and Bono thought that Moooooofin was the American Word for Bagel's!

This story always brings a smile to my face. Next time U2 goes on tour, I say we send baskets of Moooofins to their hotel and the venue.

"I turn slightly and catch Bono with half a Perrier bottle in his mouth. He's sucking the thing in such a manner it would put Madonna to shame!"

That's pretty funny! Poor Bono and his lack of muffin knowledge. Are muffins and bagels not popular in Ireland?

Actually, check out the Vanity Fair thread.. they have a pic in there with Bono with fish and bagels. (Bagels and lox?)

Good point! And embarrassingly enough, I'm the one who started that Vanity Fair thread.
