I think Bono would be very tentative on going on another tour, and he would be pressured to go on a break, right now. But I guess he's also pressured to go on another leg/tour.....he's pretty much in a no win situation......
I think Wild Honey would be a MASSIVE song on the Radio charts. It would take over.....and coming from a person who hates the song (that being me), I'd say that gives it a fair chance. It's the type of song that would do really well on the Ault Top 40, Top 40, Modern Rock, Mainstream Rock, Alt Rock and anything else there is (I'm not American so I wouldn't know).
I think In a little While would be a great song to be released, but U2 can't release 7 songs from this album......6 would be fine. I'd say Kite SHOULD be the next one, and then either IN A LITTLE WHILE or WILD HONEY, depending on what U2 thinks is best....ofcourse U2 may go down a completely different track to what we're thinking of, surprising yet again (which is what they constantly do).
Just a small thing I picked up from Mike Griffiths......just wondering if you're subscribed to Propaganda?
Cause in the Hasta cd edition it had a whole article on the new U2 album. The article was probably written about March 2000, and even then U2 didn't have Walk On (which probably spawned from the song HOME), and Beautiful Day was a probable B-SIDE in those days.....and there are quite a few other instances. I don't believe New York was even extistent in those days. Now that doesn't mean you're wrong......a LOT of the songs were quite complete back in late 1999, I mean if you look at the MOFO promo video, you can see the STUCK IN A MOMENT symbol and the GRACE symbol and the ELEVATION symbol from the coverslip of ATYCLB flash across the POPMART screen during the video.
Also in an interview down here in Australia when Bono was talking about Michael Hutchence, he said "Obviously, he was Stuck in a moment he couldn't get out of", so even back in January/February 1998, U2 had some songs going for ATYCLB- it's a very complex album....which is probably because they took the time to make sure it WAS completed. Well i haven't gotten any closer to an answer on ATYCLB, and probably jsut made more of a mess of it.
Anyway, I'm sure I've said more than my piece and confused more people than I've enlightened- if anyone NEEDED it in the first place
.
Bless ya!
