The Fly
gosh, I've read it 4 or 5 times already, it is soooooo awsome. You kind of feel like you're a part of the band/crew after you read it. It's like YOU ARE THERE when everything happens. love it love it love it.

He seems grumpy and pays alot of attention to money issues. I mean - he is so f... rich.

Lyra14, I live in Kingston too Obviously a different Kingston to you....
yeah like popmartijn said Bill wrote an article for Propaganda about this issue. it says that Larry phoned Bill after reading a manuscript of the book and told Bill that he made him seem mean and angry, using words like "Larry sneered," and "Larry retored," and "Larry is pissed." but larry's humor is the one-liner that kicks you in the butt kind, so yeah, it's hard to translate into paper becuase i guess it's a "you kinda had to be there" thing ;] don't worry, he's not an angry mean dude. there's a few excerpts that particulary loved about Larry because it made me laugh.pulle28 said:I'm also halfway through. Very interesting.
Any books from Popmart or Elevation with these "on-the-road-insider-accounts"?

But maybe other books give a more detailed insight to Larry's brain/behaviour.
And as said: I'm only halfway through. Maybe he turns out to be a party-booster in the other half.
Another interesting thing from the book:
Crew members talking: "How's Bono's mood?"
"Good, still not great. Lifting from yesterday".
Then Flanagan interrupts:
"Geez, I say, it sound like you guys are issuing weather reports: Number one partly cloudy, clearing expected later. Number three overcast.
"Believe me", the crew member says, "It pays to know".
