Bono in 1981....likes/dislikes

[JCOSTER]

I thought this was cute when it says his favorite person and it say my girlfriend Alison.

 

[Axver]

Skippy The Bush Kangaroo?

 

[Lemonfix]

^ Not to mention Hawaii Five-O

Oh, and just to mention it, it seems that this interview came out exactly a dozen days before I was born.

Eating smarties with a spoon?

Way to make a 25 year old feel old.

I feel like a baby here.

I knew I had things in common with him...I love smarties.

 

[JCOSTER]

I was 15 .

 

[Bug]

Apparently it's... action packed.

 

[JCOSTER]

This is Kim Novak - favorite movie person:

This is also Kim Novak in a shot from the movie VERTIGO by Alfred Hitchcock.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Smarties..

 

[JCOSTER]

Did anyone get that picture with kim novak, he liked her as an actess and she was in the movie:

VERTIGO!!!!!

 

[JCOSTER]

Those are Smarties in the US. But the ones I posted are Smarties everywhere else. They're like M&Ms.

Wow get out of here....they look like skittles.

Mystery solved!


Wait. What?

 

[JCOSTER]

Bonos favorite actress was/is Kim Novak, she was in a movie in the 1960's VERTIGO. It was an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
I just thought it strange his favorite actress in 1981 was in a movie called Vertigo.

 

[Lemonfix]

^ Wow, I totally didn't make the Kim Novak/Vertigo connection. Good Call, JCoster, I wonder if he still fancies her--aren't blondes out of the norm for him?

Oh, and we have, or at least had, European Smarties here in the US--We called them by a different name which escapes me at the moment but I remember being obssessed with them when I was about 12. American Smarties, on the other hand, are the devil's candy.

 

[Axver]

They're like M&Ms, not Skittles, as they have a chocolate centre.

 

[LyricalDrug]

Proper English Smarties...

 

[bonocomet]

The orange ones have orange flavor inside?

 

[SpaceOddity]

I love that he named Monty Python & the Holy Grail as one of his favorite movies. Awesome.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Not got great taste in films has he?
Could explain why The Million Dollar Hotel was so shit.
I remember in a similar interview he said that the thing most about home were sausages. Mmmmmm sausages!

 

[Bono Mot]

The Smarties I jam-packed as contraband in my suitcase when I came back from England six years ago had a candy coating over a sort of dark chocolate-tasting center.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Smarties kick M and M's ass!!!!
Especially the orange ones!!!

 

[An Cat Gav]

Don't you just love the Bono of the Boy era??
So cool.
I love all the era's of Bono but this, his first one in the public eye was particuarly cool.

 

[Axver]

Smarties kick M and M's ass!!!!

I've honestly never really noticed much of a difference between M&Ms, Smarties, and Pebbles. I'll take Skittles any day of the week.

 

[MumblingBono]

Digs Hitchcock blondes

 

[GibsonGirl]

I've honestly never really noticed much of a difference between M&Ms, Smarties, and Pebbles.

There's a difference in North America. The chocolate here tastes completely different to chocolate back home. I can't stomach the M&Ms here. They taste so synthetic. You've no idea what I would give for a good box of Smarties. Along with the rugby, Smarties are sadly missing from my life.
