I've never read...

I've never read Flanagan's Bible. I'm so ashamed of myself...

You're missing out! Run, don't walk, to your local library and check it out.

to whet your appetite:

Bono announces that before we go back to the hotel we should all go out to breakfast. He claims to know a place called the ANHATTAN (the 'M' fell off) where they will serve us, in spite of it being three-thirty in the morning on a Wednesday in Ireland. He directs the driver down narrow lanes and across great expanses until we come to a dark, locked, empty restaurant. Bono says, 'Don't worry, they might open up.' But no matter how long or loud he knocks, no sign of life flickers within. He gets back in the car and eventually we do spot a small eatery that's open. We seat ourselves between framed photographs of Jim Kerr and Wendy James. The waitress comes up and Bono says, I won't order until you put up one of me!'

She just rolls her eyes as if to say, What an asshole. Chastened, Bono makes his selection and she leaves. Eileen laughs and says, 'You forgot, you're back in Ireland. They don't care.'

I excuse myself to go to the bathroom and discover the U2 poster - over the urinal.

I love all the excerpts, and I keep meaning to pick up a copy of the book. And I saw the thread in PLEBA, which reminded me of it...right now I have exams and a paper, but as soon as I get home (13 days) I'll so read it.

*says 5 hail larrys*

and I thought I was being original. I hadn't seen that thread in PLEBA yet.
