Can you please quote some of those paragraphs?
Here's a couple:
From U2 At The End of the World:
"The scene that they come out of has a lot of rules, actually," Bono says of Pearl Jam. "There's quite a code. Like with a lot of clubs, that can be quite rigid.
I do think Pearl Jam are transcendant of their scene..its an aftertaste of the sixties counterculture..
But I don't want to dis it because in Pearl Jam's case it a place of conviction and a place where they put the music first".
On Vedder, Bono says, "He's not a rock and roll animal, he's come up from a different place, a place that I prefer. He probably doesn't think he's got a mask and so he might not have figured the various mask of Zoo TV. But he has a mask, and that's okay because the important place not to be wearing mask is in the songs. That's where I live, and I think that's where he lives.
He [Eddie] is an odd character. I like him alot actually".
*****
also after Pearl Jam had won the last of four trophies at the MTV awards:
He weighs MTV's moon-man trophy in his hand and observes, "It looks like Bono."
Bono is watching on his tv in Dublin, talking to Edge on the trailer phone. "What do you make of that?" he ask.
Eddie is suddendly wondering the same thing. Coming backstage Eddie worries that he might have hurt Bono's feelings. He finds Edge and apologizes, ask if he can have Bono's phone number so he can call and make amends and telling Edge to look into his eyes and know how sincere he is.
"I just hung up with Bono," Edge replies, deadpan. And, Eddie, he was crying."
Eddie and Edge stare intently into ech other's eyes for a few moments-then they both start laughing..

There's other stories of course, but you may just want to get the book.. It's really good..
I've gotten back into it again just going over these pages.
