from U2log's archives...
Our reader Paul, in Dublin, offers the following:
“A couple of weeks ago, the British conceptual artist Damian Hirst was in Dublin on business. I have it from a person who met Hirst during that visit, that Hirst mentioned he had been invited to U2’s studio and listened to some latest tracks with Bono. Bono asked Hirst for title suggestions to songs and Hirst mentioned ‘How to deconstruct an Atomic Bomb’ as one and ‘Vertigo’ as another. So there you go; ‘Vertigo’ could well be the title track to the album.”
When you look at Damien's work, you wonder just what he was thinking when he heard the songs...
