salome outtakes.... are the outtakes from Achtung baby. story goes that bono left the tape in the car, lent his car to someone and didn't realize the tapes were gone until much later. eventually they found their way online and in various independent record stores. (I bought my set from one of those places.) Its weird to listen to them because there are songs on there from the AB era.... that the melodies are being used now. they get to be a bit tedious, cos its non-stop try-and retry of some of the same songs.
AND as for 'salome' the song, it is a b-side; and the story about salome is that she was a 'temptress' back in the days of Christ. She would dance for the king, and when the king wanted someone killed - he would get her to dance to distract the men. (so that was her "job" so to say) Do I think I am a salome...... maybe a little bit, but mostly its cos I like the song.
