lovebono said:I think he is. They grew up with his music, and Bowie is a good friend of the band (For gods sake, Bono were invited in his wedding! )
And there are some similarities. in the 70`s, Bowie created a stage character, Ziggy Stardust, that were "Playing" at the conserts. He have also had more characters (The thin white duke).
theeeeeeen there`s our own MacPhisto, Mirrorball man and The Fly...
Any resemblance? Oh, yeah!
(and BTW, beeing a Bowie fan; The name of the song is "Heroes", not "We can be heroes" )

Lets wait to see what they reckon in 10 years time. Might say what they say about Pop now, and wish they could re-record htdaab again.

When did Bowie ever have a mullet?!

Pretty much everything I was going to say. Well put. "With or Without You" always reminded me of "Heroes," too.
And didn't Bowie have a mullet during the Diamond Dogs-era? I'm pretty sure he has a mullet on at least the Diamond Dogs cover. Could be wrong, though.

Who co-wrote and produced Heroes?
Who worked with U2 through their coming-out [into superstardom] years?
And who made Music For Airports, the undisputed greatest album of any genre on any plane of existance?
