-Bono

“See the thing that groups won't admit is that when people are screaming and calling their names... they're not really screaming for them, they're screaming for themselves. The thing about music is your lives get all mixed up in the music, this is true for me. So when I hear somebody playing a tune... I'm not screaming for him, I'm screaming for what that song means to me. Rock n' roll shouldn't be boring, shouldn't be retro, shouldn't be nostalgia, we've got to kick it into the next century a little bit.”

-- Bono, U2

“Without a real commitment to do something about the dire circumstances of a third of the population of the world, all New Year's Eve 1999 will amount to is... a fancy dress ball.”

-- Bono, Q Magazine 1998 Year In Review

“What can I tell ya... you get big ideas late at night.”

-- Bono, U2
 
"Just the sight of Orrin Hatch in the mosh pit ... it's exciting."
--Bono of U2, about one of his fans

If you're a fifty pence piece in a pile of ten pence pieces,
you have to shine so much brighter in order to be noticed.

Does he post here? lol...Isn't there a nerfherder on this site?

I think Nerfherder might be a band (maybe the title's a quote from one of their songs) :scratch:

but the thought of starting a Nerfherder=Wesley Crusher rumor is pure evil :evil:

and Wil Wheaton has kids (well step-kids, but still)?!?! I feel really old now :reject:
