Serious Bono Fuzzies!

[wertsie]

After watching Oprah yesterday, I'm getting some serious Bono fuzzies. He is such an incredibly wonderful human being (of course, we all knew that!). Post your favorite Bono pics/stories here...

"The hope that in the music comes the hope that's in the band. I believe it's time to fight back in your spirit - right down deep inside. There is great faith in this group." (1983)

"" I met this guy once in a mental hospital I was visiting. He introduced himself as Jesus Christ. I just said, 'Haven't we met before?' He said nothing. I asked him why, if he was the son of God, was he in a mental hospital? He said, 'Because it's my 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness.' At that point I just cracked up. I asked him when the end of the world was going to come. He said April 1. I thought, 'Brilliant, pencil it into the diary. The world will end on April Fool's Day. Perfect'" ---Bono

Bit blurry...

"I must say, I don't feel very qualified to be a pop star. I don't think I'm a very good pop star and I feel awkward at times in the role. I think there are other people far better suited than me.
I sometimes think it might have been a mistake - you picked the wrong guy! Look, I'm builtmore like a mechanic or something, a carpenter. I mean, take a look at these hands: these are the hands of a bricklayer. - Bono, 1987"

More later...

Bono, before The Fly - Elevation (don't know the exact date)

You walk into a sportshall...
The lights go down...
You see a little girl...
And she's your girl...
And it's her birthday today...
Copenhagen, yeah...And her name is Eve...
And she is into two digits...
She's ten...
No matter what or when...
I'm gonna love this girl...
'Cause love...
You shine like a burning star......

"I remember when he was about 3, only a toddler. He was out in the back garden. He went over to a flower with a bee. He put it on his finger, lifted the bee up, talked to the bee, and put it back again. He probably doesn't remember it, I don't think I ever mentioned it, but I can remember to this day the horror of my wife and myself. He could go from flower to flower picking up bees and never got stung. Amazing, isn't it?" - Bob Hewson

"Revolution starts at home, in your heart, in your refusal to compromise your beliefs and your values. I'm not interested in politics like people fighting back with sticks and stones, but in the politics of love. I think there is nothing more radical than two people's loving each other, because it's so infrequent." -1983

"No matter how much we wrap it up in tinsel and television, I'm still the geezer with the white flag."

"You preach what you need to hear. You sing your life, and you want it to count, I suppose. I'm hoping people are tired of singers whose mouths are filled with words that were written for them and they don't believe. Their arms and legs move in directions that other people choreograph."-Bono, 2000 Rolling Stone

"My wife Ali has an aversion to violent films, so she thought if she put on Chopper, which is made by a friend of ours, it might do the trick. And indeed it did! We got to the hospital 20 minutes before the baby was born. Twenty minutes! She's an extraordinary girl." -Bono talks about the birth of John Abraham, 2001

And last but not least:

I can forgive myself the white flag, what I can't forgive myself is the mullet of haircut.-Bono

"My children tell me to turn down my Bono-ness occasionally." - Bono, 2000

"I have to tell you, I don't like doing intimate concerts. I have very sensitive nasal glands and being that close to so many armpits is absolutely terrifying. I'd rather play a stadium any day." - Bono on the disadvantages of shows like the Astoria gig

Lol, it was a short video somebody here on PLEBA once posted, unfortunatelly I haven't saved it.

Some interviewer asked Bono how it came that on one gig he had no chest hair at all and some nights later he had his fur back. And Bono started roaring and mumbling into his shirt and when he stopped it (after quite some time ) he looked in the direction of the interviwer again and he had this little mischievous smile on his lips and said that this is the way he does it.

I want to see it again now...
