What is interesting, is Bono's comments about Bob Dylan and Brian Wilson. If you listen to my recordings of 11/19/2001 when they played Los Angeles, and during Out Of Control, he comments on both of those things.
I'm just working my way through all the lyrics and liner notes. I'm surprised at the producers' names, but mostly to see all lyrics credits go to Bono and Edge. Is this a first?
Also, lots of additional contributions from band members like Larry singing backing vocals, Bono playing keyboard and so on. Interesting
