What Did Edge Say About Owls?

[MrsSpringsteen]

Yes there is a reason I'd like to know this, it has to do w/ seeing some today

I have no recollection of what he said

 

[VicksSs]

I don't know very well, but he said something about owl post I think, during ZooTv or similar, because he had read something and was apparently fascinated by it. I'm not sure that's the precise story but something similar at least

 

[Ancalagon]

It went like this:

Edge: I love B.B.C., I mean where else would you - I mean on the World Service there last week I was listening to an hour long programme on owl droppings. I mean where else would you hear that! (laughter)

MG: You and Terry Waite both love the World Service. Last time you were here Bono, you said you'd like to do a session -

Bono: Owl droppings? Hold on a second, I'd just like to get in to this. Owl droppings?

Edge: It was an on the spot report on the tawny owl. (laughter) I kid you not, it was brilliant. I was riveted.

Bono: What is the story on the owl?

Edge: Um.....the furry vole, that seemed to be his major diet. They were going through the whole thing, it was brilliant. Now you'd never ever get that on a commercial station, let's be honest. Would you?

Full interview here.

[MrsSpringsteen]

thanks ladies

Edge is a fascinating guy owls are so cool, they truly are

I will have to get my ZOO TV out & watch--I do remember that. We have owls in our woods--they say seeing an owl in the day time is some kind of omen--not sure what though?

I saw that interview on the Achtung Baby video - Edge looked so gorgeous

 

[Ellay]

I love the bit that comes just after, as Edge is sitting outside.

Owl/someone else(I wonder who) - WHOO HOO HOOOOOOOOOO

Edge - That'll be the BARD owl.

One swooped me in my backyard the other day...... It was kinda creepy, but still so very cool.

 

[lardence]

I want to see that.

That's been a while so hopefully the omen has passed. They are very neat creatures---the one I saw stood about 2 ft tall perched up in a pine tree & he had those big tufts on his head like furry ears. He was quite beautiful. Our neighbor had a cat snatched by an owl.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I saw about six owls during the daytime (it was an exhibit program type thing). The woman insisted they aren't bad luck

 

[lardence]

We don't get owls around here, not that I see anyways.

 

[Bono's Doll]

There is this crow also in our woods that makes a sound like the creature in the movie Predator. Creeps me out when I'm walking in the evening. My little doggie doesn't like him either.
