I came to this forum looking to find a thread involving this book. I just started reading yesterday and I'm over half way through. It's unputdownable! It is bloody hilarious, but it's also quite sad; how he never got to be a rock star. How most people he knew went past him and became more successful than he.
But, and I must type this up, this paragraph wouldn't stop me laughing:
"The first afternoon, he [Adam] wandered about with his dressing-gown flapping open, his prodigious member occasionally poking though. Having had limited exposure to the male sexual organ, Stella and Orla sat debated the strange colour and lumpy texture of Adam's underpants until it finally dawned on them that he wasn't wearing any. They burst into giggles while Paul instructed Adam to 'put it away before you frighten somebody'."
Hahahahaha! This would have been circa 1976/77, I think.
And the bit when Bono didn't know the words to Blowin' In The Wind. Hahahahahaha! But good improvisation on his behalf.
