Re: The Fly ... Bono's tribute to himself?
But I agree with what you say too, THe whole concept of The Fly and ZOOTV was at least partly about U2 and Bono in particular reinventing himself.
Where once he would have tried to make your heart bleed with words and couplets etc but here he is using throwaway aphorisms to an equally brilliant effect.
My favourite U2 song ever
theu2fly said:When you listen to the Fly and see it live, you think "This song is crude, it's harsh and it's cold."
A part of me, while listening to it tonight, realized that the Fly is a song about what Bono was back in the late 80s. Bono was pretty serious back in the 80s, with his rants here and there and activism. I think when U2 reinvented itself, he chose to reinvent himself.
Bono wrote this song about himself I believe...
