for those wondering about Adam's Willie
here is the text from the page about Adam's Willie...
BP Fallon interviewed the band and Q & A's were printed throughout the program. I believe most if not all of the interviews were printed in BP Fallon's book.
Anyway here is the interview from that page.
BP: WHAT'S YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION?
Adam: My Willie!
Adam: It is. yeah. It's something that we'd always sort of talked about doing - some sort of a nude shoot with Anton. just over the years, and either one or other of us always kind of went off the idea. But this time round because we had no clear direction for an album cover we said "Well, lets take the photograph anyway and see what happens..."
Bono: My family and my friends
Larry: An engagement ring from my mother to my father.
Edge: I am starting to get attached to guitars, which I'm very worried about because I went through ten or twelve years of really seeing my guitar as the enemy, a thing I had to somehow fight against to find something new in there, so I never really got attached to my guitars but I'm starting to develop real attachment to my Gibson Explorer in particular. Yeah, my guitars. I like some of my cars as well. I got two great Mercedes, one's a 280SE 3.5 which is 1967 or '68, it's a real beaut. I've got a convertible version of that which is '65 which is really great as well. I've got these great stereos in there, it's like a mobile disco, like being at a rave you know, it's cool. Yeah, that's really my most treasured things.
BP: And why do you say it worries you that you're getting attached to your guitars. what's fearful about that?
Edge: it's a new zone mentally where, you know, I much prefer the kind of mentality where you just turn up with whatever guitar you find to hand, pick it up and get something out of it. It must mean I'm getting professional or something, which scares me.
