how is anything connected to U2?

[thankyou]

In another thread someone made the comment that they could connect anything, absolutely any subject , object, or topic of conversation, anything to U2. (I'm guilty of doing it )

So i thought it would be kind of funny to have a thread where people drop in and just mention any subject, object, topic whatever, and see how those of us can connect it to U2. Make it as difficult as you want. I'll pick the first topic:


water

 

[U2DMfan]

They have a song called The Ocean.
Is that good enough?

Let's set the bar a little higher shall we?
Try botulism....

 

[The Disciple]

Another Song, "Walk to The Water"...

 

[biff]

Try botulism....

Botulism is caused by the botulinium spore. Fungi also produce spores. Both Edge and Bono are known to have tried magic mushrooms, which are a type of fungi.



The Spanish Civil War.

Easy. Spanish Eyes.

The Magic Kingdom.

Sorry, but that's way TOO easy. Try harder.

Didn't Bono snippet "In the Garden" last tour? Not to mention all those shows in the Garden...and I swear I saw a few ho's onstage w/B-man, like that one in one of the Cali shows during Mysterious Ways, that kept chasing him...with the boobs

Hockey

 

[LikeNoOneBefore]

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Hockey's cold, and it's in winter.

John Locke (Revolutionary War era philosopher)

 

[thankyou]

Bono had a special expression regarding the revolution in ireland... something along the way of "bleep.... the revolution." They have an album called WAR, and Bono is pretty much some sort of semi-philosopher himself, just read the book Conversations with Mishka Assayas.

ps: there's a funny story about Larry using a garden hose to spray people away from their back garden during one of their early rehearsals as a band.

 

[Clawgrabber]

John Locke is also the name of a character on Lost who crashes in a plane. there is a picture of a plane crashing in the liner notes to Zooropa.

Bungee Cord

 

[LikeNoOneBefore]

You use them on mountains. Mountains are like hills. There's a song called Red Hill Mining Town.

Bono and Edge wrote a song called Conversation On A Barstool, and its first line is "I'm tired, so tired I can hardly stand".

Connect U2 to completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy, which, it seems, is the only way, these days, to get the jaded, video-sated public off their flippin arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment bollocks!! What they want is filth: people doing things to each other with chainsaws during tupperware parties, babysitters being stabbed with knitting needles by gay presidential candidates, vigilante groups strangling chickens, armed bands of theatre critics exterminating mutant goats.

Connect U2 to that.

 

[Meghan]

vigilante groups strangling chickens

Connect U2 to that.

Larry is/was a vegetarian, and he ate tempura. Tell that to my vegie friend and she'd say that's comparable with an animal rights vigilante group strangling chickens.

That looks like a spam email.

New Year's Day was written about Lech Walesa/ Solidarity, a movement against Communism. Hungary was pretty much the first Bloc State to rebel against Russian COmmunist control.

Was shut out creatively on two Pink Floyd albums and became very angry with the lead singer. Larry has been buried on the last two albums and is always angry with Bono.

Hahaha...I was going for "author of 'Native Son,'" but I'll take that.
