If the boys of U2 were NOT U2...

[FallDownJulie]

two questions:

if the boys each had to find a new job...

1) what do you think they would be doing? ( i said WHAT, not WHO!)

...and...

2) what job do you think they should absolutely avoid?

go!

i see ADAM as such a hippie for some reason. i think he'd be in a shop on a SanFrancisco pier selling beads, sarongs, sunglasses, and have a secret "herb garden" growing in the back of his store.

he could never be a politician. suit and tie on bono= very good, suit and tie on adam= twilight zone.

Edge~ two things came to mind. he could never be a tattoo artist (think of all the interesting places people have them done) or a gynocologist. BONO, however.....

ok, i can't think anymore. just thought i'd get the idea of the thread goin'.

have fun!

[Bonochick]

Adam: Own a swanky clothing store or nightclub

Bono: Museum curator

Edge: Computer programmer

Larry: Own a Harley shop

What shouldn't they do? *shrugs*

He's too posh for that!
He'd be James Bond. Yup. Is that a job? Then he'd wear a suit. But, sticking to his guns, he would still become the best bass player in the world. And he'd simulate bass playing by banging me.

Oh oh oh! Okay, Adam and I will both move to San Fran and start a free shop! *sigh*

One love, one life...
Give peace a chance!
Don't let the bastards grind you down!

Bono: I don't walk, I swagger! I sashayed once, but just once. It wasn't for me.

 

[Discoteque]

I've wondered this on...well, too many occasions:

Adam: I could see him owning a club on Ibiza or maybe a massage therapy school. Perhaps doing some "pot protesting" on occasion when needed.

Bono: he'd have to do something in the entertainment field - he's too "out there"; or perhaps be in politics, he seems to have a thing for it. But he'd be a very atypical politician, and prolly rub a lot of people the wrong way.

Edge: Computer geek, doctor or electrical engineer. Something of a more solitary profession - perhaps even a nuclear or rocket scientist!

Larry: Own a Harley shop <--I'll go with that. Throw in a tattoo and body-piercing shop, and maybe a leathergoods and a Harley fixit/restoration shop as well. Maybe somehow he and BG David Guyer would hook up to do this together??

What shouldn't they do?

Bono: Funeral parlor director
Adam: Race car driver
Edge: Outdoorsman of some type
Larry: Mr. Rogers-type kiddie TV host

Hope those last four NEVER happen!

 

[mrsmullen]

i think its obvious what they would be...

the question is, what kind of food would they make? im thinking larry would make a good pastry chef. cant you just see him frosting cupcakes?

It doesn't matter what songs we sing. I'm a drummer. Chicks dig me. - Larry

[U2Kitten]

I'm sorry Julie I didn't see this until after I started my Back to the Future/alternate 1985 storyline thing. Bono said on Charlie Rose he would be a street person living in a cardboard box if he hadn't become a rock star! I think that means he thinks he could never hold down a real job!

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

I was looking at old U2 articles on rollingstone.com and I found this great Bono quote:

"I sometimes think it might have been a mistake - you picked up the wrong guy [to be a rock star]! Look, I'm built more like a mechanic or something, a carpenter. I mean, take a look at these hands -- these are the hands of a bricklayer."

So apparently Bono would be laying brick if he weren't in U2. No word on *who* he would be laying

A couple professions I think Bono should avoid:
1) mime- personally, I don't think he could shut up for long enough periods of time to do this. In the middle of an act, he'd be like "what I'm trying to say with this piece is..." *launches in to two hour speech* Still, I think he would enjoy the white makeup...

2) taxi driver- or limo driver or chauffeur or basically anything that requires him to get behind the wheel of a car. The world is a safer place with Bono on the road as little as possible

i know this is totally off-thread-topic, but does anyone else absolutely LOVE that goatee?
I do. In case you were wondering. How do they all manage to look so damn sexy in CHEF uniforms!?!

**WARNING: BAD PUN APPROACHING!***

something about chefs...too many...not spoiling the soup...i want them all...delicious...can't stop myself

***BAD PUN DEPARTING***

as for alternative employment:

based on his (unfortunately blurry) debut, Larry would be a model. definitely.

could one be a well loved high school teacher? I don't know them well enough to pick, but i'll bet they could really inspire their students.
