Actually my dad brought home the Joshua Tree album. The music was unlike anything that was on the radio (I was a huge 80s pop fan ? you know, Madonna, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Stray Cats). I fell in love with the melodies, and even more so with the lyrics.

10-I would have loved to have seen them in a small club show when they first started out but a Joshua Tree show would be my ultimate dream experience.

THE FUN STUFF

11-Um, probably fine vintage wine, fresh flowers and condoms (he's probably be at the store because he's planning a romantic evening with Ali, I can't picture him there for any other reason)

12-Stuffed jalapeno bites - hot and spicy and I can?t get enough!

39-Owner of a model agency.

40-edge invention

41-Bono. I have such admiration for him as a poet, singer, husband, father, all the good things he tries to do that aren?t always appreciated. I would probably be so in awe of him I would be tongue-tied but I would be happy to just sit and stare at him! I would like to hug him but I would probably faint dead away like I came close to doing at the Anaheim Elevation show last April! .

42-I can imagine hearing Ali yelling things along the lines of ?Bono, where is my cell phone/car keys/car? Where did you leave Eli now? Baby, stop that, we can?t right now, the kids are home!. I can see Bono running around outside with the kids, doing fun dad things! Oh, a naked dip in the ocean would be nice too!

43-I sure would.

44-Well, with Larry, we?d start with a nice gym workout so I could see that beautiful man cleavage, then of course a sauna afterward. Towels optional! After that, breakfast and a LONG ride on his bike. Just looking at the man for a few hours would be heaven!

Adam, well, I?d just like a repeat of my dream from a few weeks ago.

Edge, I would love to spend time just listening to him play his guitar and have him sing to me. I love his voice and I would be content just hanging out with him, really just talking and listening. A little kissing would be nice too.

I would ask Bono to take me to all the hot spots in New York and basically just party, party, party. Now, if he wasn?t married, my time with him would end up in a nice hotel room with major hanky panky but, I would settle for a hug and a kiss.

 

[Julyfly]

1-When did you become a U2 fan? I was a kid, hopelessly addicted to MTV 24/7 (you know, back when they used to play videos?) and they began playing the SBS video from Red Rocks. I was a little kid and I didn?t understand what he singing about. Being raised a Southern Baptist, I wondered at first if it was something bad about the day Sunday (church day), but they didn?t seem bad and I found myself mesmerized by the music, the pulse- the beat of the drums, the energy that they created and how it affected the crowd.... and of course, there was just something about that lead singer.
2-What got you into U2? Same as above. And even though I was so young, I came to the conclusion that they seemed to be singing about something pretty important to them in that song...and if it was that important, maybe I should find out what they were talking about. So I did. The rest is a long, magical experience!
3-Favorite U2 Album? It does change weekly. Boy holds a special place in my heart, but right now I?m still SO into ATYCLB.

6-Favorite quote otherwise? Just about anything Bono has to say. Lately, I?m really lovin? ?THE GOAL IS SOUL!?
7-Favorite Band member? Yep, I?m a Bono girl.
8-Favorite Era? I love it all, but there?s no time like the present. It?s a really wonderful time to be a U2 fan.
9-What is your favorite tour to date and why? This tour... cause ?THE GOAL IS SOUL!!?
10-If you could go back in time and see any tour that you missed, which one would it be and why? I really hate that I missed the JT tour, but I think I?d go to Red Rocks and shove that girl in the mangy sweater out of the way, so that I could dance & sing with Bono. I mean, she didn?t even know the words to 11 o?clock tick tock!
THE FUN STUFF
11-If you were to ever run into Bono at the store, what do you imagine he?d have in his shopping cart? Artichokes, whip cream, a couple of bottles of really good red wine, and toilet paper.
12-If Bono were a food, what would he be? I have to agree with spinny on this one- CHOCOLATE- and for all the same reasons!
13-If Edge were a guitar, what make/model would he be? A Rickenbacker 325C64.

ok, here we go...

1. 2001
2. My parents were fighting a lot and it was an EXTREMELY tense time in my house. A good friend of mine lent me her ATYCLB and I fell in love with it (esp. Stuck in a Moment {goodness, it saved my life!}). After that it was like "I gotta hear more of this!"
3. POP, I love its lyrics and it's cynical, ironic, satirical messages.
4. Please, Exit, New York, Mysterious Ways, Walk On (single version)
5. "It's just a moment, this time shall pass." {again, thanks to Bono and Edge for that one!}
6. "Today was a beautiful day. All the people that could have been annoying chose not to be." Bono at the end of filming Beautiful Day.
7. The Edge.
8. Definately now. While I don't mind POP era U2, I think that they were losing themselves in irony after a while.
9. Elevation, I was 4 rows away from Bono!...Wait, that WASN'T ME! I gave the tickets up!!!

(I don't know if y'all knew that...

)
10. ZooTV. Stupid being 9 when that came about...
11. Socks.
12. Garlick. Good taste, bad breath.

18. None, they're originals.
19.MacPhisto...there's something sick about it that I l-o-v-e!
20. Edge (see question 7).
21. That's like comparing apples and guavas.
22. That's like comparing guavas and a biology book.
23. That's like comparing a biology book to well, I just don't know.
24. That's like comparing apples with uhhh something random.
25. That's like comparing guavas to yea, still don't know.
26. Lyrics.
27. Lyrics.
28. Would I ever meet Larry face to face? No. And if I did would I be able to speak? No.
29. Depends on my depression level, but usually Achtung Baby.
30. New Voices of Freedom. That is SO the proper medium for Still Haven't Found.
31. Are we talking mullet years here or what...
32. 1980, I'm part of PAMW (people against mullet wearers).
33. Buzz cut. Definately the buzz cut.
34. Seconds (sing Edge, siiiiiinnnnggg!!!)
35. A Chinese-Italian-Mexican-Irish-American restaraunt, cuz he's random like that.
36. Company (does he KNOW how to be alone?)
37. Happily he's with his family. *cute!*
38. Swimming in the lake.
39. Being a personal advisor. ("Gee Adam, purple camo pants today, or red camo pants?" "Well, you're wearing a marron shirt, so red camo pants." "Thanks Adam.")
40. A way to read and UNDERSTAND a biology course.

stupid prezygotic evolution!
41. Edge, he could teach me about prezygotic evolution! That and I think it would be very interesting to hear his stories.
42. Snoring. He must be tired when he's home.
43. Yep. He could fund his own election campaign and would therefore not feel the need to take donations from corrupt as all hell companies. *cough* ENRON! *cough*
44. Bono: I would go to church with Bono. Yea, and have him explain stuff to me about religion. And ask him about his erratic heart (I have one too, fun. Wait, no it's not.)
Edge: Study with me!! I have an AP biology test in May and I have no idea what I've done all year! And beat up the kid in my class that made fun of his name being a direct object and said Edge *gasp* sucked at *double gasp* guitar. Oh, and I'd show him my red shoes with white stripes on them like his blue Adidas.
Adam: Go to the world's largest ball of twine in Darwin, Minnesota. It would make for a good drive. Adam is fun (especially because he wears glasses).
Larry: Go on a motorcycle ride. Fabulous.

It's the puppets that pull the strings.

*You're very kind. Most people laugh when they see my googly eye.*

[Mirrorball Girl]

Okay. I know this will take a lot of time, time I *should* be spending doing homework, but I can't resist. I'm going to fill this out before I read anyone else's response, so I won't be tempted to copy superior answers.

Here we go!

THE BASICS
1-When did you become a U2 fan? 1996.

2-What got you into U2? Getting the New York version of the "One" video on tape during something else I was taping, watching it again, remembering how much I liked the song when it first came out...

3-Favorite U2 Album? Achtung, Baby!

4-Top 5 favorite songs? Geez! That's impossible. I'll just pick 5 of my top, I don't know, 25 songs: One, Shadows and Tall Trees, Love is Blindness, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, Kite

5-Favorite lyric? "I'm only hanging on to watch you go down ... my love"

6-Favorite quote otherwise? "I buy socks." Adam, on what he spends his money on instead of drink

7-Favorite Band member? I honestly couldn't pick one. No, seriously.

8-Favorite Era? Boy!

9-What is your favorite tour to date and why? Elevation, because I was there!! Well, I was at Popmart, too, but only one concert.

10-If you could go back in time and see any tour that you missed, which one would it be and why? ZooTV! Because I read Flanagan's Bible and I REEEEALLY wish I'd been around then. Well, technically I was. But you know.

THE FUN STUFF
11-If you were to ever run into Bono at the store, what do you imagine he?d have in his shopping cart? Olives, alcohol, napkins, a economic magazine

12-If Bono were a food, what would he be? Coffee. Wait, that's not a food.

13-If Edge were a guitar, what make/model would he be? Since I have an old Fender Telecaster, I'll say a Fender Telecaster.

14-If Adam were an article of clothing, what would he be? Panties.

15-If Larry were a car, which one would he be? A big, manly truck. With satin seatcovers.

16-If you could be a tree, what would you be? Um. An oak?

17-What do you imagine Bono sleeps in? Whatever he was wearing the night before.

18-If you could clone any one of the band members, who would you clone and why? Bono, because maybe then they'd get some recording done on schedule...

19-MacPhisto or the Fly? The Fly.

20-Mirrorball Man or Edge? Edge. (Ignore my name.)

21-Larry or Adam? Both. At once.

22-Adam or Edge? It depends on what you need done.

23-Edge or Bono? I CAN'T DO THIS!

24-Larry or Bono? Larno.

25-Adam or Bono? Bodam.

26-Lyrics or Drums? Lyrics.

27-Guitar or Lyrics? Wonderfully expressive guitar.

28-Would you ever call Larry ?Shirley? to his face? If I could get a good head start running away.

33-Larry?s buzz cut now or Larry?s long hair circa 1980? Dear Lord, the buzz!

34-So by a quirk of fate, you?re backstage at the next U2 concert and the boys walk up to you. They ask you what song you want them to resurrect and play tonight, but it has to be something they either have never played live or haven?t played in a long while. What do you tell them to play? ACROBAT!!

35-If you ran into Bono eating at a restaurant in Dublin, what kind of restaurant do you imagine he?s in? Italian.

39-If Adam were not a rock star, what do you envision him doing? Being an accountant.

40-If Edge were not a rock star, what kinds of things do you envision he?d have invented by now? Lots of electronic stuff. The female orgasmatron would have been invented much, much sooner.

41-If you could meet only one member of the band, who would it be and why? Well, I've already met Adam.

But if I could meet and hang out with one of them for an extended period of time, it would be Bono. Because I don't think it would be possible for him to run out of things to talk about.

42-If you lived next door to Bono, what do you imagine overseeing/overhearing? Talking? More talking? Bono walking around naked? More talking? Bono playing loud, crazy games with his kids.

43-If Edge were eligible to run for President of the United States of America, would you vote for him? Yes!!!

44-If you were given 4 days to hang out with U2... One day (24 hours) with each band member and your time with band members cannot overlap, what would you do with each of them? Where would you go? What would you talk about? (Keep it to a reasonable length) Can't! Too tired! Maybe I'll update later. There would be clubs involved, though. Definitely!

Whew! Done. Now I can see what everyone else wrote...
