1984: "Early morning, April four, shot rings out in the Memphis sky ..."

A little later: "Oh fuck fuck fuck not morning! Got to fix that somehow ..."

1990: MEMPHIS EVE HEWSON

 

[Axver]

Shit, was it 1990? I thought it was one or two years afterwards.

I'm not 100% sure. Jordan was either 1988-89 and Eve was two years later.

How often do you think he said "Why you little... !"?

[KhanadaRhodes]

don't everyone talk at once...

edit: works every time.

i like how they named their kid memphis, but they never come here.

"So the tour schedule's Chicago, St Louis, Memphis-"

"Memphis?! No. I have to put up with that girl every time I'm home! I want to stay well away from the family while I'm on tour. We're NOT going to Memphis."

"... OK, we'll scratch that; you guys now get a day off between St Louis and Houston."

"Much better."

Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen

good lord. i'd heard of the other three but not that one.

Bono says Memphis at every U2 show. Isn't that enough for you?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

And Shannyn Sossamon (an actress) has a son named Audio Science.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Maybe he needs to write a song with Adelaide in it...

No, she's actually named after Memphis in the Irish county of Ao'CuchlainsynfawlichMacChool-Lissfandyrf*.

*Pronounced "kah-soo"'.

There's probably some uber-patriotic Memphis PLEBAn who is sincerely honoured by that.

I still think the early TTYW is about Adelaide.

Sounds Welsh to me.

If the next album has a song called Churches And Tumbleweeds on it, you'll know it's a tribute to Adelaide.

Why you be hatin' on Vancouver?

Nightclubs as in nightclubs, or nightclubs as in "yea were a niteclub!!1!1!!11" youth groups?

ANd you say that like it's a bad thing...

 

[The Sad Punk]

I think the Lissfandyrf might have been a Welshified Viking addition.

You picked one 36 feet from the border, well done

Bit of both.

It's probably Edge's fault. He's Welsh.
