I'VE SOLVED IT!!! (Miss You Sugar)

[marik]

maybe this was reported earlier, but read the lyrics to Spanish Eyes. most acknowledge the song is about Ali, and in it he refers to her as Sugar.

 

[one4u2]

but why Miss You?

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Sorry, it was established some time ago that "Sugar" was a nickname for his father.

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

It was "established"? Please explain how...

 

[pepokiss]

someone called it... that's how

I doubt it, I do not see "Sugar" being used as a term of endearment for your Da, logically Bono during his work and activities outside of the band he would miss Ali, therefore this is sorted

 

[sallycinnamon78]

You're all wrong - he wrote it about me. DOH!

 

[ZeroDude]

You're all wrong - he wrote it about me. DOH!

Yea and REM wrote Man On The Moon about me too

I thought it was an endearment his mother used to call his father? That's what I remember reading...although I can't recall the actual source right now.

EVERYBODY knows that this is simply not true. That song was also about me. As was one by the Stone Roses.

A description Bono has said numerous times regarding his wife ...

"And I need you ... more than you need me"

Wow I wonder what she is made of? I cannot imagine anyone not needing him to the utmost! Must be part of her "mysterious ways" that keeps him loving her so much for all these years.

Actually, I read in Eamon Dunphy's book "Unforgettable Fire: The Definitive Biography of U2" ... how his wife (in the early years) looked after him ... guiding him through the real world of food, house-keys, money, clothes, and things he hadn't a clue about.
So, I can understand why Bono still feels "a need" for her after all this time ...

 

[BEVERLY56]

If he were mine, I would never let him out of my sight! Especially with all the ^%&#*(^PLEBAns out there! ha ha.

Haha, yea, if you happen to be andy kaufman (which I believe, is impossible, due to him having passed away) then sure, i believe ya.

Ach, well, that's my little secret, you see!

Now you're being silly. Everyone knows that Kaufman is alive and well, sharing a penthouse apartment with Elvis, Shergar, Jim Morrison, and Lord Lucan in Clapham, England.

 

[faithingrace]

there's a radio interview floating around somewhere and he says to the guy if you want to play a song for Ali (who was there waiting for the interview to end) play Spanish Eyes because I wrote it about her.

Something of that sort, not direct quote.

Actually, I'm not entirely sure Bono still has any ideas about clothes now. Especially when he tries to dress formally!

I took Shergar out for a run yesterday Although Presley demanded he wear a jumpsuit specially fitted for a larger creature
